There will be a lawsuit anyway. Perhaps arguing the print was too small, or in the location, or in the wrong color. An attorney once to me the U.S. tort system is designed, when there is an injury, to find out who has the money and use it to compensate the injured. Fault has little to do with it. Depressing, isn't it?

A heat gun or even a hair dryer will make getting the stickers off much easier. It softens the adhesive. Some clean up with WD40 or goo gone might still be needed.

Be careful - don't want to crack windows or delaminate anything. Heat guns can get pretty hot pretty quickly...

In 95 degrees in Mississippi we don't need the assistance of heat...

Ha! This is awesome - we just picked up our International on a week ago Friday and had our first night that night - before noon the next day we had all of the stickers off and a bottle of goo-gone on the list! The stove stickers are still the hardest ones after the dealer logo...

O.K.;

Today, I did use a heat gun set on 'low' to warm up the stickers on the stove, and they came off easy-peasy. I just used my Swiss Army Knife, with the little pliers that was on it, to gently pull them off.
There was really no adhesive no remove other than one corner sticker that had left some.
So I used toluole sparingly to remove it. It worked as expected.
Using high heat heat just melted the sticker.

Removed the cooktop stickers and the outside propane warning stickers. Came out a lot easier than I expected. A little Goo Gone for the remaining residue, and I'm good.

So now I have several windows to do....
