          I'd be wary of using a heat gun, glass doesnt like to be heated up unevenly, call autoglass or someone there must be a simple way.

            I've removed the stuff with a heat gun on low setting. Comes off really easily - smells bad though. The glue that is left over is water soluble so just wipe down afterwards with hot soapy water.

                  As a side note, surely plod has better things to be worrying about in this day and age!
