My son set a plastic grocery bag on my hot rear window and the bag melted to the window. Any ideas on how to remove the melted plastic without scratching the glass. The melted spot is about 10" across.

if its on the inside of the window, watch the defroster lines, make sure you dont cut through them. Use some goo gone and it should come loose.

How hot was it outside??

It is on the outside of the rear window. Temp was about 85 but car was sitting in the sun for about 6 hours so the glass was hot.

Try the goo gone, or water and scrub brush....

Is "goo gone" a brand name?

If it's on the outside, a single edge razor blade or a window paint scraper sold at Lowes/Walmart for about $2 should work fine. Hold at about a 45 degree angle and scrape the plastic off. This is the same way you would get old stickers, decals or paint off of windows.

cold water will harden the plastic. and a razor will remove the residue.

Thanks for the help--the razor blade thing worked--just like scraping paint.

Goo gone is seriously freaking amazing!! Just thought i'd say
