Soak it in glass cleaner and scrape it off with a clean new razor blade.

Scrape the sticker off with a new razor blade then soak with window cleaner. Should wipe up nice

If you soak the sticker in glass cleaner until it is about ready to come off by itself and then scrape lightly with a CLEAN razor blade....you will not scrape the glass.

They sell special glass scraping razor blades that are designed not to scrap your glass but will peal the sticker off

I do this kind of thing all the time. As long as the surface is very wet with glass cleaner you dont have to worry about scratches, it should come right off.

I have used razor blades many of times and have never scratched my glass. In fact, I stripped the tint off my entire car using a razor blade and didn't have any problem. About the only thing that will really scratch up glass is a diamond.
