You might try 3M adhesive remover ((https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Adhesive-Remover/?N=5002385+3293194120) - it is available at any automotive paint supply store. Will not damage painted surfaces. I have used it many times and it will remove almost any adhesive backed item. Much better than acetone, lacquer thinner or other solvents. You may have to soak the sticker from the outside and slowly peel the sticker off but it should work.
