3M adhesive remover will take that stuff off.

You can also use any of the citrus based cleaner/degreasers (GooGone is a good one)

Speaking of sticky, the airbag warning stickers on the visors of my new S seem to be stuck a lot more than in previous cars. Do folks remove them nowadays? How? Do I just need to let my fingernails grow a bit longer?

Easiest way to remove glue from the windows is to use a safety razor!

I tried rubbing alcohol, it ended up erasing the colors and numbers on the sticker, but the actual plastic (where the numbers were printed) is still there, its just transparent.

Somebody told me to use something called (Oppss) came out like crap and nothing got removed!

I guess the razor would be my best bet, but wouldn't it scratch the window??

What about the 3M remover, does it work on the getting rid of that plastic sticker, or it only removes the leftovers adhesive stuff?

A clean razor will NOT scratch the window unless - possibly - you try to cut into it perpendicularly with a corner. Glass is pretty hard.
