Default Remove and Reuse Windshield Banner?

Well not only one month ago I purchased a Spoon Sports Windshield Banner signed by Ichishima Tatsuru (Owner of Spoon). I applied the banner when I received it and today I noticed my windshield is cracking and needs to be replaced. The crack isn't near the banner at all. Now on to my question:

Is there any possible way a windshield banner be taken off and reused, or am I out of luck?

I was thinking of taking a trip to a local vinyl shop or sticker shop and seeing what they say, but I thought I'd ask H-T before I drove anywhere.

Thanks

Maybe if you heat it up the adhesive would soften enough for you to pull it off. But really I don't see how you could get it off without stretching the banner. Also the adhesive left on the banner probably wouldn't hold very well to the new windshield.

Depending on the cost, it may be cheaper to just have a sign shop make a replica of the banner for you to put on the new glass.

you should kept that one off and got a another one. You could still do that. take that one off carefully and buy another one to put back on.

If you stick it on aluminum you can peel it off and reuse it again? I was thinking about carfully pealing it off and if it works, I was thinking using a sticker adheasive spray to re apply it.

probably wont ever be able to reuse it without apply new adhesive. That idea might work for you, try it on a smaller sticker first and if it works good give it a try on the banner. I'm gonna pickup a honda primo banner one of these days, but I just didn't want to throw my signed banner in the trash lol
