Use a stanley window scraper (carefully)

Off glass? A metal scraper and some WD-40 should do the trick.

If there's a heater element in the glass, don't use a scraper - try a fingernail.

HTH :)

Get a hold of someones hair drier & carefully heat it up whilst useing a craper or stanley knife blade. To remove the left on glue i've found tar spot remover to work great :D :Djust did this myself the other week ;)

WD40 and a razor blade should do the job, add gaffa tape and a hammer and thats the ultimate mans tool kit!

I second the Hairdryer idea, especially at this time of year when ambier temp is cold.

Also if you end up with glue residue then a plastic pan scourer is a good option, just watch areas around the glass (and the glass itsself maybe)

if its breaking up try sticking some gaffer tape over it and peel them off in one go.
