It depends on how baked on it is.... if it chips when you pick at it...you may need to use some laquer thinner and a push razor to get it off. They make special blades that wont scratch the glass.
You could take it to a tint shop...sometimes they will do it if they are cool and have time to.

Back in high school for 2 summers my job was installing window film on cars, buildings, etc.
Use a brand new razor blade, any old or knicked one will scratch the window more than get the decal off, and soapy water. If its really stuck on there use a heat gun and plastic scrapers.

wow.
interesting thread.
use a fresh razorblade. no solution required. no soap. no water. a new blade will not scratch the glass.

no disrespect intended Konig... but you would be STUPID to put laquer thinner anywhere near your car... just use a razor and some window cleaner...

I do keep her waxed though, that may help some. I have used it on friends cars when touching up paint chips, to wipe off any excess from the brush stroke.
d33flat - You may have a ghost image on your tint strip if you have one. I know my last truck did. The banner keeps the sun off the tint thats under it, so it fades uneven....you may want to opt for a new tint strip too.
