I would say to get it hot with a heat gun and slowly pull an edge up... Hoping that you can soften up the adhesive. Then keep it going, but your dealing with a 20 year old sticker that has been out in the elements for just as long. Its going to be tough.

 

I would suggest a solvent of somekind, but any solvent that would soften up the adhesive would probably eat at the sticker itself too.

Take a high resolution photo of the sticker with a digital camera and have someone make you a new one. I think OfficeMax or Staples can do it.

Mine went away when the doors needed replaced. The body shop cut it off the door but you couldnt read any of it anyway. The labels were legible but the vin and dates were not. The years caused mine to fade away.

I think they are reproducing these decals for AMC cars,

 

I never compared the two, but I'm sure they are different,

 

Tho if someone can reproduce the AMC type, I don't see why some enterprising sticker guy couldn't scan, and reproduce ours. :D

 

Of course either the decal maker, or the buyer would have to have a way to add the VIN and Date info.

 

(I believe on the AMC versions they ask for a pic of your door tag, and the decal maker adds it in).

Guess I should've looked up couple posts first. :thumbsup:
