Try using Zippo lighter fluid. A little on a paper towel or rag will take off any sticky residue. Just remember this stuff is flammable.
Just about any organic solvent will remove adhesive. Organic solvents include lighter fluid, nail polish remover, paint thinner, and carburetor cleaner. Hardware stores sell products with orange solvent, which should work fine. Once the adhesive is softened, use a straight edge razor blade to scrape the glass clean.

How to Remove Old Window Tinting?
When a car has had window tinting installed for several years, the tinting can begin to bubble and cause distortions in the view through the glass. In some cases, the window tinting may obstruct the driver’s view so completely that it becomes dangerous. The old tinting is easy to remove if you know how to do it. Preparing the Surface Before you begin to remove the old window tinting, wash the window thoroughly with a strong glass cleaner. The cleaner will soften the old tinting and make it easier to remove. Cleaning the window also gets rid of any dust or debris that could gum up your tools and make the job more difficult. Let the cleaner soak into the tinting for a few minutes before you wipe it away so that it has plenty of time to soak into the plastic. Using the Right Tool The key to a successful window tinting removal project is the tool you will use to scrape away the old tint. The best possible tool for the job is a flat edged razor blade with a long handle. You may need to replace the razor blade several times while you remove the window tinting, so be sure you have plenty of extras on hand. Roll up the window and begin to scrape away the tinting from one of the lower corners. The razor blade should slide through the tinting easily, removing it in long strips. Continue the process until all of the tinting has been removed from the glass. The adhesive that held the tinting to the glass will dull your razor blade very quickly, so remember to change it as often as necessary. Cleaning the Glass Once all of the colored tinting has been removed there will still be plenty of adhesive left on your window. Use the razor blade tool to remove as much of the adhesive as you can. Spray the adhesive with glass cleaner and let it soak in again. This will soften the adhesive and make it easier to remove. You may need to clean the glass several times before it is completely clear of tinting and adhesive material.
