Default how to get paint off of tint?

So I need some advice to get some "paint" off of my tint on my back window. What happened is I had my trunk full of some stuff (in the middle of a move) and on top of the junk in the trunk was my wife's drycleaning in it's plastic bag. Well the bag was pressed up against the back window lightly and the car sat for about 3 weeks while we were on vacation. Anyways, I come back and open my trunk to find the bag stuck to the tint. I pull the bag off and it left all it's paint (a painted design on the plastic bag) on the tint. I tried scraping it off w/ my fingernail but it's like the paint melted off the plastic and bonded to the tint. Can someone help?
TIA

you might try orange cleaner, but I would try I hidden section or test piece first, I am not sure how it will affect the tint. Also have you tried a amonia free glass cleaner? If it is quaility tint like Lumar or solar guard it should come off.

got the stuff off. I had to use a terry cloth and just work it a small section (1 sq. in.) at a time w/ a crapload of pressure and the friction worked it off. Only problem is it took me an hour and I've got blisters on my fingertips!!!
