what generally happens is the bond to the glass just weakens a bit. The adhesive will not dissolve at all. Again they are all different, worse is better as far as getting them unstuck. What you don't want to do is rush it, esp the critical moment of trying to wedge off the glass. I used wood clothes pins, dig out some of the plastic that is real bad and GENTLY tap them in all around the perimeter. What you are looking for is a very slight upward pressure that is even. If you try to hard the glass will break, then you have a much harder time getting the pins located with even pressure. Once the glass is broken its 10x harder. so again you must go very slow, on a hot day and it can take hours for the slight pressure to work its magic.
Safety gear is a must, I had one go off on me, blew BIG chuncks of glass, very sharp very pointy with an explosion that sounded like an M80 at about 8" away, and it was instant. I got lucky, had my googles on, still got some pretty decent size cut on my arms. heavy chunks went 30ft away.
