Often this is done with a razor blade scraper. You have to be extremely careful because you can scratch the glass. If you do this, be especially careful on the inside because if you slip you may damage one or more of your defrost lines.
You should then be able to clean off any residue with some isopropyl alcohol.

I don't have OnStar, so no - I have not done it. I have heard of many having success using that method for anything from removing the spoiler, to the on glass antenna such as you have. Gloves would be a good idea, wrap it around the fingers, as you said, and then use a sawing motion, back and forth and it should work its way through. Then you can use the alcohol, or some "Goo-Gone" to remove what is left behind.

This thread is over 2 years old. I suspect in that time, he has either removed it, or left it. In either case, it is a user that I haven't seen for a while. It would be best if you post in wanted what you are looking for, and we can try and find you one.
Thank you.
Thank you.
