After spending an hour scraping one off, I started using double-sided scotch tape over the adhesive. It holds fine and comes off easily

Razors are fine, they won’t scratch the glass if you use them properly

Yep packing tape is the way to go

Break the window and have insurance replace it for no charge. It's the easiest way. /S

After you're done removing this, I put a piece of clear packaging tape (or you can buy dedicated sticker shields) over the sticky part of the permit then just keep it on my windshield with a small sliver of tape.

great food and five separate rooms (3 separate restaraunts) with great live music in each one!

Nail polish remover is your best bet. Works every time. Don’t use a razor.

COVID helped me on this one. I have a little hand sanitizer in my glove compartment now and since it's mostly alcohol it does the trick ni still need to give it a good few rounds of rubbing though.

Hot water and dish soap. Use the rough side of a sponge

I was going to mention those, and Tags is exactly where I’ve bought mine. They’re well worth it, to avoid the aggravation.

I don’t bother to remove them. I like having a collection

What’s the title?

After many years of razor-blading, I saw these sticker shields at the Ace Hardware in Porter Sq. Depending on how you value your time they might be worth the investment; you’ll never need to scrape off a sticker again! (Pretty sure they’re available on Amazon as well.)

I see a lot of people mentioning razor blades, and I just want to mention that you can get plastic razor blades from hardware stores, like Tags, if you're afraid of scratching the glass. After you get the bulk of it off with the razor blade, use isopropyl alcohol to attack the remaining adhesive.

next time, throw cling wrap on the sticky side and then just tape it to your window.

I just use rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and a little plastic scraper.

Razor blade should be fine, just keep it flat. Goo-gone works well. It's definitely a pain

There’s a great new book out about Harvard Square and in her forward the author talks about all of this in a really succinct and interesting way.

I've been told so! Haven't had it in ages so I can't confirm for sure.

For the future, I got a little plastic thing that sticks to the windshield into which I can insert the parking passes. I have self laminating adhesive sheets I use to laminate the pass so it’s not externally sticky.
I just ask the auto shop to scrape it off when I do my inspection and oil change at the same time. They have the tools and are always nice enough to do it.
