Scrape the tape off. Remaining adhesive can be removed with Goo Gone or WD 40.

A razor blade. Use the old fashioned kind that is sharp on both sides. Place masking tape (or duct tape) on the side you won't be using so you don't slice your finger. Then scrape it off and then apply some dish soap to any remaining glue residue. Works every time.

a razor blade. once the duct tape is gone, use nail polish remover on the adhesive. may need to use combo of both polish remover (preferrably w/ acetone) and razor to get all the adhesive off.

After using the hair dryer to soften and remove what you can, a product called "Goo Gone" will easily remove the residuals with scratching the glass. My drug store CVS carries it; I've seen it in Home Depot, Target and K-Mart.

use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, then simply peel it off. You might need some elbow grease to remove the clingons. Also, you might try a little toothpaste to help clean off and leftover adhesive...it's a mild abrasive so it'll help scrub off the goop but won't scratch the glass.

WD40 or some kind of oil. (Also, nail polish remover works on removing adhesive).
Then either use lots of rough paper towels and/or a razor blade.
Don't forget the elbow grease! Good luck.

Search the paint department for a product called oops! It also removes dried paint and won't etch the glass.

Snap Carburetor Cleaner sprayed on a cloth. Don't laugh, nothing works better or faster. Just use lots of ventilation.
Caution: It will remove the paint or finish if you leave it on.

Rubbing with a towel dipped in any kind of oil (canola, olive, etc.) will remove the left over adhesive as well.

Crud Cutter, and Goof Off seem to work. If you have some mineral spirits or lacquer thinner you could try that as well.
I would not recommend anything abrasive.
