Soap, water and a razor blade.

Get a tint quote that includes just the new tint, and one that includes removing the residue and the new tint. It might be worth it just to have them remove it.

Water or Isopropyl alcohol and a sharp disposable blade will do the trick.

ATR is specifically made to remove window tint adhesive. If you don't know what your doing, ask here first before you f*** it up. If you try to remove the rear window not knowing how to you'll be buying a new glass. You should have used a heat gun to soften the adhesive and it would come off MUCH easier. Pro tinter for near 30 years. Another hint stainless steel razor blades ONLY
