I just peeled some of mine off and used Goo Gone for the adhesive. Very easy! Also ordering my JK stickers today too!

No. (I need 7 more characters before I can post this, since the message is too short).

I waited until the boss was gone and used her hair dryer and it worked great.

I never thought of using WD-40 to remove the adhesive! I used a rubber sqweegy for tinting windows to get it off instead.
