you can use a fresh razor (so you don't scratch your glass) and windex or soapy water to clean up the glue and rest of the tint. For the back use a scouring pad a rub gently (so you don't scratch your glass and don't ruin your defroster). I didn't read above but you can also spray your window with soapy water and put a piece of plastic over the window, leave in the sun for 10-15 mins and then scrape away.
