Try some adhesive removers " OOPS" and "GOO GONE" They are citrus based and always worked well for me.

Try gun scrubby, i use it to clean guns but it will clean off sticker goo VERY easily, it will melt most plastics though if you get it on it Works really well

i use aircraft paint remover on my glass to get paint and goo and other crap off. i dnt know if it can melt the glass if you leave it on long enough. i just spray some on a rag and wipe it down, then i use glass cleaner to clean it after. makes them crystal clear.

try using a heat gun on low . . thats what i used on my friends car but this was on his body though if u use it on ur body make sure the paint isnt to thin . . or less it'll just make smears of it and ruin the pain . . the window should be no problem and later just take some water and rubb off it off with some BOUNTY paper towels . .

All you guys are missing the question here, he doesnt have any sticky goo or anything like that it is just a clean shadow or ghost of the original sticker! But on to your question man I dont know, I had a big NITTO sticker on my windshield one time and hade to remove to inspection, and I had the same problem. The only thing that worked for me was Father Time, after awhile it just went away, after numerous washes! Sorry no real answer.

Yeah use a claybar with some windex, or if that doesn't work use some mild laquer thinner and a razor. Watch out for the tint though, learned that the hard way one hung over day at work on a 06 acura TL good thing my boss wasn't around. haha

Use this steal sponge looking thing from any autoparts store. Im drawing a blank, but it looks like a ball of fine wire, but soft...be careful with it because it can scratch your window...but its a trick I learned in autobody class...when you get overspray on windows...use this and it wipes it right off. Im sure a car parts store will know what Im talking about.
