Question removing window decals

I have a couple of window decals on my car window that I want to get rid of. I tried to remove them but it appears that the colored ink part of the decals somehow melted into my window. I tried spraying Windex and picking it off with my nails, but they won't budge. Any ideas how to remove them without replacing my entire back window?

Try 'Goo Gone'... Usually gets rid of glue and decal residue. It's available at most automotive sections in Wally World.

Also, razor blades work very well for this.

I used one of those paint scrapers to remove decals. It helps if you wet the decal first.

I forgot... it also works well if you heat it up with something first. If you can get a hair dryer out there, that'll work great.

I remember on my wrapper it said to use a blow dryer. I used a rag and hot water and mine came off alright.
