"New" windshield 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
I just got a gift of an OEM windshiled - mine was all fogged and scratched. Before I put it on, though, I'd like to get that little yellow warning sticker off.

What's the best method that won't damage the shield?

BD, Use a hair dryer on low or med to slowly heat it up, and you'll be able to peel it off.

Took mine off with the hair dryer method. Just took my time and it came off pretty fast.
