Removing a VIN sticker, Best way ? Options

[jim_hoyland]

Thanks to Socalandy; I have a replacement VIN sticker for the driver side door jamb. The original sticker got mangled and needs to be replaced; it's stuck on the metal pretty good. What's the best way to loosen the adhesive so the sticker can be peeled back and removed ?

Use a Popsicle stick or better yet a doctors tongue depressor. . sharpen the end
so it is sharp, like a chisel blade. . use this to ease off the old sticker as it won't hurt the paint. . It's a go slow project, and a hair dryer will give you the right amount of heat without overheating the paint. .
