short answer you cant they are under the clear. you can sand them off, which takes entirely too long, or go the route i did and use aircraft stripper. a little bit messy but takes like 15 min.

Ya, if they're under the clear your only option is to remove it all. If you're lucky and they're on the clear, a hot hair dryer will loosen the glue and let you pull them up. Then you need something to remove the residue.

why do you want to remove the stickers in the first place if your just going to put new ones on?? Cover them, only you would know the difference
