Try a blow dryer! Just aim it at the stickers...heat them up a bit. It 
makes them easier to remove. You can use a single-edge razor from that 
point without too much trouble. I found this out by experience. I 
transferred 30+ stickers from my old vehicle to my 78 bus using this method.
(And guess what...they're ALL Grateful Dead stickers!)
 
Nothing left to do but :) :) :)
