Jeff, I use Windex and a fresh razor blade to clean that goo from city stickers off of my car winshield. It works pretty well. It might work in this application too. Can't gaurantee anything though.

wd40, razorblade(plastic-metal will scratch the glass), heatgun,elbowgrease!
soak the film with wd40 and let sit for 5min, try rubbing or scraping it off and keep usin more wd, if that dont work add heat to the equasion. be carefull around silicone though!

Heat softens the glue

Rather than WD40 (Petro base) i think veg oil is a better choice

not sure if its safe but goo-gone might work. it works great for getting residue from stickers and stuff like that off

metal razor blades are ok for glass. just keep it at an angle. I use regular razor blades on glass tanks all the time.
