Sticker Residue removal from Targa Rear Window

I have a couple of stickers I would like to remove from the inside of the rear window on my Targa. I carefully peeled one of them back a little bit and it's leaving sticker residue on the inside of the window. I plan to peel the sticker in a downward or upward motion in order to go with the trace line path and prevent a trace line from pulling off the window. My concern is I don't want to use a cleaner that will un-stick the defrost trace lines from the window when removing the sticker residue. What should I use?

I,m not sure how you call it in english but i use white oil as used in camping lamps. But be carefull on the rubber parts because it will leave white spots, but if you mask them first it should work fine. Or use sticker remover offcourse but allways try a small piece first !

Try to warm the sticker first with a blow dryer first and you will take most of the sticker off without leaving the sticky film.

Cheers,

+1 ...and make sure it's "Goo Gone", not some variant. It's readily available around here (even in grocery stores), and I've used it a lot on my car...works great. 3M Adhesive remover is another good choice.

I used mineral spirits and it removed the goo and left the defroster lines in place. good luck!
