Removing GPS cup from window ???

Hi, I accidently put the GPS cup (with glue on the bottom) on the window - I think it's suppose to go on the dashboard, and now I can't remove the cup. It's really really stuck to the window and the glue is really really strong. Anybody have any suggestions on how one might remove it? Please don't flame

try using a hairdryer to heat up the window/glue. you might need a new mount after this.

use goo gone to remove any residue left on the window.

GLUE??
You used Glue?
Isn't it a 'suction cup'?

Have fun with that....

Try a 'spackle tool' with a thin blade to get under it...
