Removing window labels
 

I just bought a new window for our porch. The window was fine, but
the damn label they put on it was a major pain to remove. I had to
spend an hour pulling, scraping, and using a sharp blade to scrape off
the glue. If I had replaced all the windows in the house, I would be
calling the manufacturer and telling them to send one of their
employees to remove the labels for me (at their cost). I have 16
windows, and 16 hours of labor to remove their labels is not something
I am willing to do because there is no reason they need to glue these
things onto the glass. They could have just inserted the paper
between the panes. These labels serve no purpose anyhow, except to
advertise themselves. The instructions are pretty useless.

If I ever do replace all my windows, I already plan to order a custom
order WITHOUT any glued labels. It seems that everything we buy these
days either has some paper glued to it, or the stuff is enclosed in a
clamshell plastic thing that needs a chainsaw to open. As a consumer,
I am always ready to fight back when they do stupid things like this.
Monday I will be calling their 800 number and raising hell. I plan to
tell them my hourly wage that I earn, and that I expect them to pay me
that anount for the hour I spent removing their damn label. It's too
bad more people dont complain about things like this, if they did,
maybe we'd start to see some changes. Apparently these companies hire
idiots to design their labels and the glue used to attach them.

Odd. I have found that they come right off if I remove them right
away, but they get "welded on" by baking in the sun. What brand of
windows were they?

Did you try Goo Gone. It always works for me.
