Get your hairdryer on it to soften it up, then gradually peel away.
Remove residue with meths. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

I removed the dealer name sticker that was on the outside of my window by pouring hot water over it. Of course, if its on the inside I wouldn't recommend that method! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

My last two new FL2's I asked the dealer that I want all windows sticker free before I picked it up. But a heat gun and a wipe with WD40 to remove residue will do the job.

The one I just picked up had the Dealer sticker in the rear window which came off easily. The front window had the remains of the tax disc holder and the service reminder sticker. Maybe because of the heated windscreen, these were a lot harder to get off. Ended up using a little paint scraper (Stanley Knife blade in a flat holder) to get all the residue off and also a little spray of Wd40. Can't tell now.

Hope this helps?

How many stickers on the windows to dealers attach in England Laughing we've always bought new up here and it's only every been 1 dealer sticker on the rear glass which peels off easily after a bit of heat has been applied. It will even peel off without heat but it is a lot stronger. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
