liberally spray on a window cleaner (that contains ammonia), wait a bit and use single sided razors to scrape that stuff off. make sure you cover up your door panels with tape and towel to make the job not so messy.

there is a product you can find at Home Depot called Lift Off. It works great. All of the regular Lift Offs, Goof Off, or whatever you get should work fine. The water based ones are weaker and do not work as well, but add the benefit of not getting HIGH off the fumes. Benefit to some.

if you need to do this ASAP without going to the store, just grab some WD-40 or liquid wrench and spray liberally on the windows (make sure to cover up the door panels otherwise it will be a PITA to get that stuff off). Most tint shops charge about $50 to remove tint and it is well worth it. The back window will be a huge pain because of the defroster lines and also the angle at which it is at so be careful and don't rush it! good luck bro..
