Default Oops.. Semi OT - Removing antenna mount from car window...

It depends on the adhesive used. Some used that foam double
sided tape, That's easy to separate with a sharp knife. Then
you can remove the remains with a single edged razor blade.

You can also see how far you can disassemble the units down
to just the part that is stuck to the glass and work from
there with a razor blade and perhaps a bit of solvent applied
sparingly to loosen it.

Obviously, you don't want to dribble MEK, Acetone or Xylene
on any of the soft parts or paint on the vehicle.
