Default cleaning window tint

I bought my car used and they had a damn sticker on the inside of the window over the window tint. Well i go to take the stick off and now the glue is still on the inside of the window. How do i get this off with out messing up the tint. My dad has some glue remover but i think it will turn the tint purple.

It probably will turn the tint purple. I would take some warm water and put it on a cloth and hold it over the glue. Then take a chisel and wrap a cloth over it and slowly go over the glue. Repeat as necessary. Just make sure the chisel or whatever you use is wrapped properly.
