From a windshield or license plate?

I guess it also depends on how brittle they are.  Some stuff is just beyond help.  I imagine a heat gun might be the best way to heat it up.  I'm not sure if one is brittle if you could use celar packing tape stuck to the back first to keep it together.  Maybe on glass,  the clear packing tape to reinforce it,  then very carefully with a razor, in a cross wise slicing almost motion might work best, carefully scrape it off.  A little heat as well might help.  Even a sunny day outside with the sun shining on the glass.

Yes on windshield.

Are they paper?

 

Ask any windscreen replacement shop. They often do this I would think; well, here there is the Warrant of Fitness (paper) and the license pouch (plastic) that have to go across, although usually they replace the license pouch with one of theirs with their name on it.

They are design to not be removed and will separate leaving the word VOID across them if pulled . You would be better off getting nos one's on ebay . All years appear from time to time . I found originals back to 1930 .

The ones in NY state can be removed and replaced without voiding them.  As mentioned the glass shops remove them and replace them on the new windshield without any issues.  I have removed them carefully just when replacing them and have had alot of luck getting them off entirely intact.  Though i just throw them away.  It's better than cleaning the mess up if you just hack at it.

I did check with glass replacement shop and used his method.Sprayed heavy dose of Windex and used new razor blade.Slowly worked at it and it came off perfectly'
