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.
