Get a steamer that removes wallpaper, comes off real easy with that.  I had a nasty tint on my rear window once and it did the job. And it wont affect the demister.

I\'ve seen them remove this stuff at work, they use a Hot air gun and warm large areas (don\'t get it too hot or the screen will crack) the get an edge going and keep pulling and warming as you go. Ether pannel wipe or White spirits will bring the residue of Glue off.
