Hiya!
Use a razar (stanley) blade to get it off, be careful if it is on the rear window tho as of the heated window those thin wires'
When the sticker is removed you might have bits of glue still on there...you can carry on with the blade to get this off then finish with 'tar & glue remover' that stuff is amazing that is what all car valeters use! if you cant get hold off that then a little bit of turps (white spirit) OR even most window cleaners will get rid of left over bits of glue.
****sorry******
just read the rest of your Question....you've got rid of the sticker..Yeah I'd get that 'tar & glue' remover, It's so quick & easy to use...It's handy to have around the house too, as it even gets chewing gum out of carpets, clothes etc! ; )

I found this at the link below. I hope it gets the job done!
How can I remove a bumper sticker that was put on my back window?
To start, lay a large rag over the sticker and soak it with water. Let that set an hour or so and then remove the rag. Use a single-edged razor blade to scrape away the sticker. When you're done with that, pat the area dry and then clean the rest of the glue off with any remover such a Goo-Gone. Finally, just wash the window.

Try fingernail polish with Acetone... but be careful... if the windows are made of plastic (not glass) the acetone might cloud it, so test it in a corner first. Also, you could try Goo Gone. It's cheap, you can buy it at your local pharmacy or hardware store. Saturate the stickers with Goo Gone, let it sit for a bit and then go at it with a razor blade. Keep a rag handy to wipe away the scrapings. Again, if your window is plastic based, you might want to test the razor blade scratching in a corner to make sure you're not going to permanently scrape the middle of the window.

Methylated spirit sprayed or gently rubbed over the affected area. Allow a few minutes to soak into/under the offending item. A combination of razor blade/scraper with metho and definitely NO cloth/paper wiping or rubbing until all the tacky residue is completely removed.

A really simple thing to do is to wet a rag with a little lighter petrol and rub the sticky of. It works great and leaves no smudges.

liquid lighter fluid removes all the stickiness left behind, I used to work with Video's that need labels changing and this method worked, really worked

Try dabbing a few drops of perfume or after-shave onto a cloth and rubbing it with that. Often works! If not, at least your car will smell nice!

try using white spirit, or surgical spirit, or even methylated spirit on a bit of cotton wool or old cloth. Beware if it is any where near the heated screen elements, and make sure you don't have any flames (ie cigarettes) near you when doing this.

Razor blade. I actually used a pizza cutter because it was less likely to peel anything else off.

A cloth with a little white spirit will do the trick.
