How do you remove a window mount cell phone antenna?

I have an old one mounted to the rear glass of the car. It's broken, adn I dont use it. Is there a way to remove it, or is it glued with a special glue and it wont come off without risking breaking the window? Its just bugging me....

One good side shot with a hammer should knock it loose.

Isn't there a wire leading into the car?

How about using a heat gun? Most antenna's mounted on any glass is just held by double sided tape. Try using a heat gun and pull it off that way. I took off my XM radio antenna that way.

I installed cell phones, all you have to do is scrape off the inside and outside mounts with a putty knife. Then scrape off the old adhesive with a razor blade. As for the wire, you can cut it, stuff it, of remove it entirely. If the inside mount is on the defroaster wires be careful.

Use double sided foam tape. Oh and clear silicone around the outside edges.
