Car Forum / Ford / Ford Focus / March 2006Re Removal of screen sticker
Folks I have a sticker from last April which is stuck fast on the inside of the windscreen. I have tried boiling hot water and even the wife's nail varnish remover. All will not shift it !!! Has anyone a good idea to shift it !!! Before someone does it, no, selling the car is not a good idea !!!! All the best.

Before someone does it, no, selling > the car is not a good idea !!!! WD40 is very effective at disolving sticky stuff. Used it many times for this purpose. Though... be careful not to use too much, and you will also need to get something to get the WD40 off the screen once it's done its job!

It would likely not be a water-based adhesive. Remember, the object is to solve (dissolve) the adhesive it, not wash it. > All will not shift it !!! > > Has anyone a good idea to shift it !!! Before someone does it, no, selling > the car is not a good idea !!!! I don't smoke, but I keep a can of cigarette lighter fluid (no, not butane) on hand for removing label glue. Works a treat on most labels, because it's a solvent for whatever they seem to use for adhesive. Plus, it doesn't add something *else* that also needs to be cleaned up, as using a lubricant would.

Wow, I can't even begin to figure out what's going on in this thread but I surely didn't make my response with any intension other to try to help with a question someone had. I'll mind my own business in the future.

Actually, I figured he (the other USan) just awkwardly wrote, "If that's what I know over here in the US as the windshield..." I don't generally chalk up to arrogance what's usually just poor writing. Unless I just feel like raising a stink, which I usually don't. :) SignatureBlinky Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html Coming Soon: Filter rules specific to various real news clients In message <bowlturner60-26B1F3.21091218032006@news-rdr-02-dummy.rdc-nyc.rr.com>, >What's a windscreen?

Someone once said that the UK and USA are "two nations divided by a common language". For the benefit of any of our friends "over there" who don't know their windscreens from their bonnets see: http://www.effingpot.com/motoring.shtml > Folks > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Has anyone a good idea to shift it !!!

I dont know if it works for you but I have had pretty good luck with removing parking stickers by heating them up with a hair drier and they peeled off easily. ahmet turkey Should have mentioned this earlier Eucalyptus Oil - removes almost ANYTHING - smells great too and is good for the environment!! >>Folks >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > turkey
