How does a person tell what side is the top? the black side or the silver side?

And whats the best means to remove tape from the glass itself

adhesive residue can sometimes be removed with either dish soap or something like olive oil . YMMV

I find Coleman fuel (napha) to be a great adhesive remover. Apply precautions when using it but works like a charm.

Actually WD-40 works pretty well.

Then you have to get rid of the WD-40 residue. I sometimes use Bestine rubber cement thinner. Nasty stuff. Wurth makes a solvent for cleaning up paint overstay, that may work too.

If it's just a small amount of tape residue, you can use PEC film cleaner. If a lot, soak the piece in a citrus solvent like De-Solv-It for twenty minutes of so first, then wipe that off, and if necessary, repeat, and then finally go to an all-purpose glass cleaner. No need to go to something nasty or flammable. But whatever you choose to use, wear nitrile gloves.
