Default 08 EFI Another crappy sticker problem

Well I just brought home a 08 500 EFI and those darn stickers on the fender and gas tank are giving me fits. All the others came right off but I can't even feel a edge to grab on these bad boys. I did a search and found some info on some older models but wondered if the 08's were the same stickers. It seems that there almost molded in all the others pulled right of but I have been rubbing the crap out of them all that comes off is the lettering now all I got is white. Someone has to know a way to make em go bye bye. Thanks for any info.

The stickers I referring to is the safety stickers, maybe a little heat will make a edge pop up so I'll be able to grab em.

I took mine off using a plain old hair dryer. Just heat em up for a few minutes really close then they should peel away. If you cant get the edge started, use a razor blade.

I used a credit card rather than a razor blade. This got the edge up while not scratching the body.

do not use a razor blade. Use a hair dryer or a heat gun. Then if there is a little residue use some stuff made by Hardline called Sticker Off!

Not sure how good those WD-40 pens work? Similar problem where we can't seem to get some stickers off of the inside windows of our Mini van. (Darn kids!)
