Default Anyone remove the Wi-Fi/OnStar sticker from the drivers window?

I would like to remove the Wi-Fi/On star sticker (Circled in yellow) from the drivers side window but I am unsure if it will peel right off, or self destruct. Unsure if fingernails or razor blades will best suffice. Looking for tips from those who've successfully removed this eyesore. TIA.

I would mask off the upholstery and dab some Goo Off, on it before I used a razor blade. After you get the decal off, you can clean up the glue left on the glass with Goo Off on a cloth. For cloths, I use micro-soft towels.

Won't the value of the car drop by 20% or so if you remove those?

Just the horsepower, not the value.

Speaking of Hi Fi, I was thinking about installing this high fidelity record player in my C7...

My 2015 Stingray doesn't have the sticker but my 2016 Cruze did. Simple removal with a razor blade and a cloth dampened with WD-40 removed the excess glue.

Then a front license plate must increase drag enough to cost at least 50% of available power.

Probably nearly impossible to make forward progress in a headwind.

Default Dealership tag

When I bought my car last week the dealership had a plastic tag glued to the rear. I had him remove it. It's bad enough it's on the license plate frame but on the car it's stupid.

onstar was activated by the salesman but the phone option they said buy minutes I laughed. I won't pay for onstar. But I also assume I won't be able to use the Chevy iPhone app to start the car after it expires.

Yeah while you're at it - remove that! Would never put such an ugly sticker on my car, even if I was a Hillary supporter.

Mine never had the sticker. If you remove it, will onstar still work?
