Try using your blow dryer or a heat gun. With just enough heat and a good finger nail you might have it made. Follow up with a little of the Goof off orange degreaser. Depending on how good your paint is there is a tool the body shops use. It is like a big eraser on a high powered drill and it will take the decal off and not harm the paint. Good luck.....

The rear "WESTFALIA" decal on my pop top needs replacing. I have the replacement. But I don't have a clue as to how I'm going to get the old, grungy decal off. Anyone tackled this with success? My top is painted so vigorous scraping is probably not a good solution.nor is acetone. Any hints appreciated.
