Windshield registration sticker removal

Egad, they have windshield stickers there (I assume PR?). Most western states have license plate stickers. Those you’re supposed to peel off every year, although it usually ends up that I make sure the old one is clean and paste the new on top. I assume you can put the new one on as soon as you get it, it’s not possible to do it too early?

I’d shy away from using a putty knife on glass, even the hardened type. Snow scraping tools might work well, if you can even find an equivalent.

Are you talking about inspection stickers or registration stickers?
ISTR many states do not even bother with vehicle inspections.

New York (since the mid 60’s) has required the inspection sticker to be on the windshield. Registration stickers were on the license plates until 72/73, when they too became windshield stickers.
