| They are held on with double sided tape.. Very careful use of a sharp 2" scraper will get them off.

| How did you get the decals off?
Mine are taty around the edges, but a previous owner has removed one but left the clear adhesive bit behind. I was going to use a hairdryer to heat the adhesive and a wooden scraper. | |

| heat the sicker up and pull one corner but keep the heat on the sticker farther up as soon as it goes cold it will snap off . soak a rag after in thinners wet the glue and run a credit card over it its hard work then when its all off run over again with thinners . then polish easy he says fingers still hurting oh yea if its windy use a marigold glove for wiping thinners on or you will get frost bite  | |
