All I did was scrape as much off with a razor as possible, then used some started fluid to eat away at the glue to get off the rest.

Use a razor to get up about an inch or so of the corner (enough to grab onto) then slowly peel it off by pulling it back. Pull slowly with even pressure on the whole piece. If it rips anywhere, start turning into the rip until it comes up without further ripping. With this technique, you can usually get the whole side window in two or three pieces. It's a hard technique to explain but it works really good, and even usually takes most of the glue with it. The trick is even pressure along the whole piece as you're peeling it off. You'll still have to attack some glue residue, though. Warm soapy water worked best out of the 15 or so chemicals I've tried.
