The best way to get it off is use a hair dryer to melt the glue on the back and use a razor blaze to scrape it off. Once its off use some glass cleaner to clean the glue off.
hope that helps.

if glass cleaner doesnt get the glue off then go and get some UPVC white frame cleaner ... this stuff will remove anything
i buy it from a local shop
