Be cautious with scrub pads and solvents. Some scrub pads will scratch window glass. Some solvents, eg. acetone will dissolve (soften) many types of "plastics." If some of the soaking and peeling suggestions do not work, I would try scratching the surface of the decal, to allow penetration, and then apply lacquer thinner. I have found that to be the best sticker remover with the least destruction. If possible, however, I would first test it on a non exposed area.

Usually an "X-acto" (sp?) or other sharp utility knife from a hobby or hardware store will be enough to get you under the corner of the decal to get enough of a start so you can simply pull the sucker off...
