Default Removing Stickers from Tint

Hey everybody... I have been gone for a long time... sorry, freakin recruiting duty. I hope to be back in Cali in a year or two. Barely have time to drive the camaro anymore...
I was wondering if anyone has some tricks for this? I have tint on ALL windows, and have some stickers from my old apartment complex. I want to take them off (one is in the back and one is inside the windshield), but I am afraid to screw with them and jack up the tint. I tried a search, but I haven't found anything.
Also, there is a chip in my windshield (damn rocks) that I want to get the bubble trick done. I have had it done on other cars, but never the Camaro. Will the heat from bubble they use to fill it jack up the tint?

why not just use soupy water. let them soak.
Thats if they are paper base stickers, If they are plastic, then there is no tricks. Peel them slowly.

One is plastic and the other is a metalic one.... FML. The first one has been on there since about 2006, and used to spend a lot of time in the SoCal sun. The other since 08 or 09, same story. I am worried that I will start peeling them off and will get them half way off and they will look like ***.

i dont see why a steamer wont work, if they are on the glass and not on the tint side . it will remove the tint super fast so if its on that side i wouldnt recommend that

both stickers are on the in side....
though I do have my old base decals on the outside that have to get cleaned off for the new ones. I will look at the steamer option for that, though I was planning on using goo be gone.
