windex and a razor blade dude....takes 5 min
wet down the window with windex covering the whole surface
use the razor blade at no more than a 45 degree angle to the glass and just work ur way around the window until you get all the glue off
wipe it down
repeat as neccessary for any spots you miss
i do this all the time at work cuz we have to take the tints off any cars traded in

maybe also mention that with using a straight razor balde...the corners of the blade will scratch the **** out of the window if your not careful !!!!!! if you have never done this before be ******* carfeul.even tinting over scratches you wwill see them throught the tint.
you might also try to get nylon razorblades, or plastic ones or even a plastic putty knife. maybe heating glass witha a ahirdryer and steelwool.
be careful...
my 2 cents

thats why i said keep it at less than a 45 degree angle to the glass...very unlikely thta it will scratch...and you dont need to use a lot of pressure just glide it over the WET glass and the glue will come right up ....just make sure you keep the glass wet with the windex
i thinkn you left some key parts outta that phrase lol...corners of razor blades will kill glass whatever angle you use it on.
best thing you can do with razor blades is take them to a benchgrinder and round of the corners slightly.then you wont have to worry about diggin into anything.
im not hating on you bro.i just think more needed to be said about it.
