Default Anyone know how to take Rain-X off a window?

I'm putting a guy's logo and phone number on the back window of his truck in vinyl, and it has Rain-X on it, so nothing will stick. I need to know something to get it off.

Here's what I've already tried with no luck:

Windex
Rubbing alcohol
Floor cleaner with amonia
Citrus degreaser


Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, I don't have any just sitting around. I did just try some methanol (which we run in our karts) but that didn't help either...

Hmm.... as much as I'd love to take a torch or hammer to this guy's truck, I guess I'll have to break down and call the number on the Rain-X bottle and see if I can get an answer....
