It depends a great deal on what type of glue you are dealing with. Most glues are best removed by scraping them off with a razor blade - the same way you remove paint. Some glues can be softened by applying an appropriate solvent such as acetone or toluene which then makes the glue easier to remove. Some glues can be softened by CAREFUL application of heat such as from a blow dryer or heat gun. A few glues can be reduced to ash with a lower temperature flame and then wiped away. It really depends on the composition of the glue.

How do you remove double-sided tape from glass?
I have just done this after trying other methods suggested on the net. The simplest way was to warm the tape itself with a hair dryer then scrape the tape off with a knife or plastic card. Soak the residue on the glass in cooking oil on a piece of kitchen roll. It seemed to dissolve the remaining glue very quickly. then wash off with washup liquid. No harmful chemicals or expensive glue removers involved. Best not to waste your best olive oil on it though!

Glass shops have precut mirrors that they can order. They usually run about $10.00. Scrape the old mirror off the plastic with a sharp chisel or razor knife. Scrape off any excess adhesive. You can glue the new mirror in with clear silicone but be sure to tape it on so the silicone has time to cure. Leave it overnight and pull the tape off.
