   I have not tried to remove license plate stickers specifically but I have
found that "Besteen Rubber Cement Thinner"  is solvent for most adhesives and
will not attack paint or plastic.  You can get it at your art supply store.  I
suggest soaking over time with careful probing of the glue joint with a thin
blade (like a pallet knife, also from the art store)  The stickers get crispy
when old so be careful.  Lacquer thinner would be my next choice but it might
affect the paint.  Try it on the back of the plate first.
   You got me thinking now.  I am going to dig out an old plate if I can find
one and see what works.  There are several other options like "Goof Off" but
they can attack some paint.

Anybody have any idea how to remove the yearly stickers on the plates? I've
been told hot water but nothing happens.
