heat it up with a hair dryer and use your thumb. and goo gone... there is no reason it should take forever. I've taken EVERYTHING off with that.

that still does not work the tape residue is really hard and it wont soften up even when i heat it what other products may be better than goo gone if any

3m adhesive remover or acrosolve.

Acrosolve works great!

If it's on the glass... you can use a razor blade as well.

Though mirror glass does scratch easier so I dont recommend a razor blade on mirror glass.
