    Acetone..... razor blade.... any combo of the 2 should work if they dont work individually......

    Just make s ure you keep the razor blade flat, then you wont scratch the window.

    i have found in my detailing days that this is the best way , if you cant get all the glue off with a razor blade , get some VERY FINE steel wool

    steel wool also works GREAT on very dirty windows

    I was gonna say, why would you want to remove the Metallica decal... Rock on!!!! :evilsmile

    Looks like you could use a new rear window gasket.

    a hammer, and a trip to safelite autoglass... hehehe....j/k

    everyhting that they have mentioned is great.. just be careful with chemicals in the closed in area of the back seat of a car. keep a fan in there on ya if working with acetone or anything else strong
