Damage to windscreen from ticket

Hi all,
Just wondered whether anyone has attempted to add something to the standard first response template, with regards to the fact that there are costs and damages that have been incurred to the vehicle due to the very sticky glue these private companies use to attach their silly 'PCNs' to the windscreen, especially in the hot summer sun.
I wonder if it might help kill off the PCN first time with a response that includes a few lines stating that they will be counter sued for the time and cleaning costs associated with the sticky substance over the windscreen. I have photos showing just how much work was involved last time in removing and scraping off the glue which had melted on to the screen. It genuinely is a huge pain to remove and takes time and effort.
The company in question for this particular PCN is Apcoa at Guildford train station.
Interested in people's views.

Personally, I think that you might struggle. There must be any number of solvents which can remove this glue without a song and dance. A judge might consider this frivolous and hit you with unreasonable behaviour costs.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0
