The rear windshield on my car cracked so I secured a plastic sheet to
my car using packing tape and now the 'stickiness' of the packing tape
won't come off the car.  The tape and plastic sheet must have been on
for about 2 months so the stickiness is pretty much baked on.  I tried
'Goo Gone', however, it didn't even make a dent in removing the
stickiness.  So short of repainting my car, does anyone have any easy,
cheap suggestions for getting rid of the stickiness?

Hi ryoung02,

Rub a bit of anything greasy on the window - such as Pam, margarine,
oil, or mayo.  Then lightly scrape with a razor blade.  If that
doesn't work, spray WD-40.  Use razor blade.  Wipe of excess and spray
with window cleaner.

I know the WD-40 works - because I just removed a sticker I had on my
front window for rescuing my dogs during an emergency.  It had baked
in 117 degree heat for days and it came off nicely.  :)

Best regards,
tlspiegel

Hi,

Try using some methylated spirits (high concentrate alcohol) to remove
it. It does wonders
