    Try wd40, it's probly the best thing for adhesives, I know this from long experience.

    Don't use a scraper on the back window, will ruin the demister. Tea tree oil is good for getting off glue and muck.

    If your carefull and patence you should be able to get most of the glue off with the tint.... try heating it up a bit before trying to remove the tint.. then if the glue dosent come off, use oven cleaner it stinks like s**t but works really good and dosent leave a residue so if your planning to re-tint it should be easyer to clean ect.
