Default HELP!! Window Cleaning advice

Hey experts,

I have made the mistake of putting a college letter sticker on my car window. It's been there for a year. When i took it off today, it left some hard to get rid of sticky residue on the window. Most of the residue stayed on, and I want to get it off. I tried windex with no luck.

Anything that can help, please let me know so i can get this junk off!

TIA

Simple Green, Greased Lightning, Goo Gone

edit: and a razor (insert generic ignorant "emo kids cutting themselves" comment here)

Im iffy about the razor because its on the inside of my rear coupe window so the slant of the window is going to make it hard to do it w/o scratching.

actually, i've never attempted with a razor, i imagine this can leave nasty scratches? am i wrong?

You gotta hit it at an extreme angle, but if its on the inside of the rear window don't use a razor(because of the defroster), maybe just a kitchen type brillo pad. You know, the green jonts.

you won't need a razor at all, just goo gone, a rag and elbow grease. follow it up with glass cleaner and a microfiber, and you are set. i have had to do this many times with success.

WD-40 dissolves most adhesives, as will coca- cola!
