Let her sit out in the sun on a hot day and/or use a hair dryer (or heat gun if you have one) to heat it...should be able to roll/pick it off with your fingers. 5 minute project.

Waxed dental floss to thread behind it along with some heat if needed to soften the adhesive. Assuming you mean a decal/sticker that has some rigidity/heft to it (think what some people would label a "badge").

If it is literally a floppy sticker with no structure or "body", usually just need the heat and then peel when adhesive is soft.

Edit to add a photo:

If it looks like this you basically just need to get one corner to come loose with your fingernail and it will peel right off. A little bug and tar remover took off what little residue was left.

The hairdryer/heatgun is good advice. The best solvent to remove the adhesive safely is naptha.

Or Goo Gone.

I’ve used the hair dryer/dental floss method in the past and it works great on badging. For stickers I use a hairdryer and a plastic razor blade. WD 40 works great to get rid of the gummy residue.
I asked my dealer to not put any stickers or badging on my truck so instead they put mud flaps with a huge dealer logo on the rear
Needless to say they came off as soon as I got home lol

Hair dryer and credit card. Also the first "mod" I did was remove that and the stupid license plate brackets they put on.

Thanks for all of the info… used the heat gun and then WD-40 for the leftover adhesive. Came out great !

Sheese. Can’t wait to have this problem.
I’m still in the under a month/rookie club.

Don’t let them apply them to begin with. Same with the front tag holder. Especially if it’s a drill to apply type.

Everyone should have a bottle of Goo Gone at home.

Came here to say that. LOL

But if it's too late for that, just drive it to Phoenix and park it in most anywhere for about oh, 2 or 3 minutes. Should come right off.
