you may have to resort to a razor style glass scraper.

Goo gone, works very well for such, but a new sharp single edge razor blade is less messy and will also work well.
A product called Goo Gone will remove those pesky stickers. It works great and you can probably find it at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes etc.
My parents would always use Pledge. It is oily and works to take the goo off. Obviously make sure it doesn't get on what it shouldn't. This would be an easy and pleasant smelling thing to try. They would often use a scraper as well. Hope it comes off easily for you.
Hi Debra. Try using a hair dryer to reactivate the glue and then scrap off. Good Luck!
Make a paste of cooking oil and baking soda, wipe the paste onto the sticker and leave it there for a few minutes. Then wipe off and you should be able to rub it off or use a single edge blade. You might have to leave it on overnight if they've been there that long.
Purchase a cheap window scraper tool (it has a razor blade in it) at a dollar store in the tool/paint area.
Yep, try a razor blade scraper ;)
Use a razor blade that is new. Take off the vinyl top first, spray with whatever, then use the razor blade to scrape it all off. The top coat of the stickers probably isn't letting the solution absorb into the lower paper.
Vegetable Oil & Baking Soda. Use 1 tsp of each & mix together. After you mix it well, lay it on thick. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, depending on how much you need to get rid of. Then rinse off with warm water.
Spray with WD-40, let set for 15 or 20 minutes. Then scrape off. Use hot soapy water to wash off WD-40 and any remaining reside.
I have used the insect repellnt "Off" in the spray can. It will leave behind a oily type film afterwards, so you'll have to go back over it with glass cleaner. Vinegar/ water works best, and newspaper instead of papertowels.
I always keep a small bottle of mineral spirits under my sink. It is great to remove any sticky label and much cheaper than goo be gone.
If the glue is very old then I use either acetone or MEK but you have to be careful not to use this on plastic or finishes because they will get damaged. But it is fine for glass, ceramic or granite.
