Yes
Anything with ammonia or other strong corrisive cleaning compounds will damage your tint. Try using the special glass cleaner thats safe on tints. otherwise try to remove the adhesive by hand if you can..

Use WD-40, then wipe off with microfiber towel. Follow up with glass cleaner.

HAIR DRYER FTW. Let it sit long enough in one spot and it'll melt the glue without damaging anything including paint

I'm thinking if you let the hair dryer sit over the glue long enough to make it soft, it has a good possibility of hurting the tint.

hairdryer and water should do the trick. Make sure that you don't melt the tint by having the hair dryer to close at one spot.
