See that's relevant information. Who knows how a non-stock RVM was put on? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Well, all I can say is heat activates adhesive then use the very sharp razor method. Not too much heat and not too concentrated. Just get the window nice and warm and try and force the razor blade behind it. Adhesive remover to remove the goo on the window when you're done. |
