any type of paint stripper and a plastic putty knife. I don't reccomend metal-to-glass scraping.

you don't scrape it, it comes right off in one motion with a sharp razor blade. GOODDDDDDD!!

Depends. If the decal is paper-based, you may have to scrape it. If the decal in vinyl based, you are correct.

stick blade underneath decal

slowly push the razor blade forward

use lighter fluid and a paper towel and wipe until all sticky is gone

use glass cleaner and wipe it down

congratulations, you have successfully removed a sticker

I just peel it off and then clean up the leftover glue with a razor blade.

brand new razor blade, work it under a corner and kind of rock it to get underneath it and separate the sticker from the glass. WD-40 will get rid of the remaining glue

heat it up with heat gun or hair dryer and peel it off using a sharp edge to get under it, fastest and easiest way

You can try lacquer thinner, that might work. Another thing that will work well, especially if you have some sticky residue, is Goo Gone Xtreme.
