    heat it with a hair dryer on high, moving it back and forth and as soon as you can get a finger nail under a corner of it gently pull back on it continue to heat as you do it.

    I got mine off when it was about 95 out and just picked at it with my fingernail until it came off.

    I took my emblems off by heating it with a hair dryer and running some fishing line behind it to break the hold.

    If you're set on doing it now and it's not hot on your part of the states, hair dryer and goo gone to get rid of the adhesive left behind.

    Make sure to wax over it where the sticker was when you do, there's usually not a layer of wax behind the sticker.

    If that dealer is close by, why not go to their service department and nicely suggest that you'd like to continue buying new cars from their dealership, but for now would simply like the sales sticker removed from your present car that was purchased there!

    Heat it up really good with a hair dryer or heat gun if you have one, grab the end and start pulling. You might need to keep the heat on it as you pull. If you have any sticky stuff left on the paint, use Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover.

    I used to use a hand held propane torch. Just hold it far enough away to heat the sticker but don't let it bake the paint. It only needs to be gooey enough to peel off with your fingernail. Once the sticker is off. Clean the glue off with alcohol or solvent. Remember, do not let the fire linger for even a second, just pass the flame back and fourth enough to get the sticker warm.
