Default Goo Gone on tinted windows?

Has anyone ever used Goo Gone on their tinted windows? Will this cause ill effects to the tint?

I know I could just try a corner, but don't want any peeling to start and be a big problem later.

I would guess it would be ok, but wondering if any has done it..?

Yeah, still have some stuff from a dealer sticker. It'* been there since I got it. It'* on my driver side rear, and I was looking to merge and saw it again. I figured after 3 years it'd be about time to get rid of it...

check to see if it has ammonia in it, if so don't use it

I have stuff called Krud kutter, it does not contain petroleum solvents, bleach or Ammonia
it may work, goo gone might contain these since it'* a weaker version of Goof Off

I don't think there is ammonia in it. I know that'* death to tint. I'll double check, and see what happens.

Nevermind... Just found this online:

1. Can I use Goo Gone to remove tar, stickers, grease off my car?

Goo Gone is safe on your car exterior, using instructions for hard surfaces. It'* safe on your upholstery and carpeting, using the instructions for carpeting. It'* safe on the vinyl and glass, but may remove the tint from the tinted side of windows.
