There is a kind of solvent that works with cars that you can buy at an Auto Zone... If it is on the glass, you can use (as long as you spray on a paper towel and not just on the car because it might spritz on your actual paint) Goo Gone, which takes off pretty much everything! You can buy that for like $3 at Walmart...
Good luck!

Use a hair dryer to heat up the bumper sticker get one end of it started then keep applying the heat for the full length of the sticker, if you don't have a blade to scrape any excess glue off try the rubbing alcohol and a metal spatula......don't apply too much pressure as you don't want to scratch the window, you can also try goo gone if there is any adhesive left on the window.

I'm going to assume that the sticker is one the outside of the window, (yes I've seen stickers for the inside) I've had the best luck with soaking the sticker with soap and water, and a nylon pot scrubber, it'll take time and elbow grease but it'll come off. Then a little rubbing alcohol to get the glue off.
Now if it one of the kind that goes on the inside of a window, the same thing will work as long as there is no coating on the window. If there is a coating of some type, then I would just use soap and water, and scrub very gently.
Good Luck

I use a single-edge razor blade and a can of WD-40. First spray the edges of the sticker with WD-40 and let it set for a minute or two. Then, spray the razor blade and start to work it under the sticker. After a while, the blade will start to get sticky, so keep spraying it with WD-40. The WD softens the adhesive and makes removal super easy! Then just clean up the oil with Windex and you're done. Good luck!

I suggest going to a hardware store and getting a razor blade scraper becasue they are only like $1 and it will be better than a metal spatula

Using alcohol and other solvents can cause damage to your cars finish if you spill or touch it. The best way to remove these stickers is to use a hair dryer at full heat and use a small wooden wedge to push the decal off when it is heated. After it has been removed you may use some nail polish remover to remove any residue left behing making sure you don't get any ANY of the solvent on the cars finish.

The best way that i have found is to use a blow dryer to heat the sticker and slowly pull at one corner. This will help remove any of the adhesive from the glass. A little alcohol will get the rest.

Peel as much of the sticker off as possible. Get some lighter fluid, the kind used for lighters, not the grill. Lighter fluid will help dissolve the adhesive that is left behind, and use a plastic scrubby, the kind for dishes, to help remove the residue.

Buy some single edge razor blades. there is an orange cleaner that cleans well too, but the blades are cheaper.
