Hot hair dryer, try that to soften the glue up.

Gum tree oil, didn't want to try the proper spelling for it. Rub the oil on the sticker, then cover with cling wrap for a while...... at least a couple of coldies...... then try to remove the sticker. If it doesn't work, at least you had a good excuse to have a couple of cold ones. Only heard about this method???

We work for 5 days to enjoy 2 with the kids and fishing.

If you ndo not want to use Eucalyptus oil, just wet plastic wrap with water place over sticker and wait 15-20 mins, and peel off

I have heard of this one to remove un wanted window tinting. But I think a small amount of detergent goes in the water aswell.

Chase up one of the citrus based sticker remover products from Super Cheap or wherever.

Jabba i think you would be able to use metho on it without damage but please someone correct me if im wrong...I think paint thinners would be a big no no.

Ummm no paint thinners on plastic, it will melt it or at least make the plastic cloudy.
