State park stickers area PITA to get off. I tried something last summer when I put my state park sticker on and it WORKED. Put some Rain X on where you will put your state park sticker. It will peel off real easy when you have to take it off. All I needed was my finger nail to get it off. It came off easily in 4 pieces with out any residue.

Or stretch out a piece of gladware (plastic wrap) and place the sticker on it (ensure there are no bubbles - u can remove them by popping with a pin).
Cut around the edges and you are done. Now you can breath on it and stick it (with static cling) to the inside of your windshield and remove it at will. This also enables you to move it from car to car. Handy with parking passes, boat launch permits, etc. V OUT |

It's required in parking areas at trail heads and boat launches.

I picked up my new sticker when I went candle light skiing and they made me scrape off my old one before they would let me park. Kinda frustrated me because we wanted to get on the trails, but they had a long handled razor blade that made it go fairly quick. Weird. I've got about 7 of the things on my windshield, they just keep handing me new ones. |

You guys try heating them up first? Hair dryer or heat gun. But just quickly so you don't melt them, then scrape off with a razor blade and clean off any residue with goo gone or strong cleaner if there's any left. I've been using a heat gun to remove the registration stickers on my boats, snowmobiles, and license plates for years. Bumper stickers too. Works great, but I have to be careful not to get it too hot if it's applied on a painted surface (especially snowmobiles), or it'll bubble the paint. If you do it just right, you can peel off the sticker in one piece, and leave very little sticky gunk behind. When it gets hot to the touch, all you need is a fingernail to get it started and slowly pull it off. If it starts to tear, stop and heat it a little more. Goo Gone is the best stuff to remove any sticky residue, as it won't harm any underlying surface, but lighter fluid, simple green, and even WD-40 will work also. |
| Though technically illegal (the permit states it has to be attached directly to the windshield), Ace hardware carries a product just for this. Its kind of like a screen protector. Its a pliable plastic, and one side is sticky. Apply the permit to the non-sticky side, cut it out, then attach to your windshield. Makes it easy to move around as it stays sticky, but not too sticky. Comes in a package about the size of an index card with a couple sheets for under $5. |

Used to be SOP for .MIL folks to affix their DoD vehicle stickers to those when stationed in certain foreign countries to avoid vandalism of their vehicles or targeting by terrorists when off post. |
