Windshield Sticker / HUD

[Legendsk]

Got my new Texas windshield decal for the lower left corner, instead of on the license plate. Have to remove the old one - razor blade and WD-40, followed by methyl alcohol before the new sticker? A little concerned with the HUD. Can anyone assure me that the windshield doesn't have some mysterious coating or other property that could be damaged in the process?

I love my Stinger, would hate to screw up the HUD and the sticker needs to go dangerously close to the HUD area.

Are you talking about adding your TX vehicle registration/inspection sticker on the lower left of the driver's side windshield? That should be plenty far enough away from where the HUD projects.

There's nothing special about the windshield's inner surface, to answer your general question.

Goo Gone is a bit better at removing adhesive than WD40 and less likely to damage (stain) materials it might come into contact with. WD40 isn't the worse choice, just not the one I would make for removing adhesive.

Thanks. Actually I have Goo Gone and do use it for that sort of thing. I figured WD-40 would be equivalent enough and more people would be familiar with it.

HUD windshields have a reflectivity layer baked into the glass where it's laminated together. Really it's just there to prevent ghosting. There is no outside layer you can touch/scratch/ruin. I've had to use a razor blade to remove my TX registration a couple of times (first time I put the wrong one on, then I got a new plate). Scraped it off with the razor, came back with 99% IPA and got the residue off.

FWIW, the only cars that I believe ever had a film on the glass was the 93-94 Nissan Altima. At least it looks like it does in pictures, I've never seen one in real life.
