    you can use a razor to get the majority of it off. Be careful not to
    scratch the glass.

    after that, "Goo Gone" (or similar) works well. Any of those products will
    work.

    yeas, I was thinking of a razor blade. It would be so much easier if the
    sticker was on the outside though (convex vs. concave shape of the
    glass). I will be very careful :)
    OK, now I need to pop into the auto store and fins this stuff. Didn't
    know about it. What is it???

    GooGone is a naphtha based solvent. You can find GooGone in most
    hardware stores and even at Target / K-mart / Wall-mart type stores.
    Look for a small (~8" tall) clear plastic bottle with a yellow liquid
    inside.

    Professionals use a scraper (fresh blade) and windex. The windex just
    keeps the goop from sticking back onto the glass. It will clump into a
    ball. Spray, scrape, spray, scrape.

    Once you introduce solvents into the situation, you get a gooey mess
    that leaves residue for a long time.

    Soapy water in a sprayer would do the same thing as Windex.

    you should not play any notes you have left over. -

    use a razor bblade and butane liquid. just release the butane from the top to
    bottom. it eats the sticky stuck and us windodex to wipe clean. been doing
    that for 25 yrs with cars.
