best to use a steamer or a heat gun hair dryer don't work. that will get the tint of then you need to scrape the glue of the glass with a single edge scrape blade but don't scrape the back window you will stuff the demisters you will need steel wool for that and a lot of scrubbing its a prik of a job.

soapy water and a razor blade. get the razor under the tint then peel, add the water every now and then. sometimes you get a lucky streak and it doesn't rip and you get a whole chunk off! peice of piss once you get the courage.

hey nice to see you on the forum gary!
i think you should show them a pic of your tint ;)
if you don't have a steam gun, you could always grab a girly and have a nice hot session in the car with the windows down, that should create enough steam to soften the glue ;)

K+H Wax and grease remover is tops for removing the glue. In fact, if you put some directly on the tint itself, it should lift off pretty easy. Hopefully.
I use this stuff to remove stickers and the residue that they leave...
Just my 2 cents...

For $50 a tint place will do it for you.. money well spent in my opinion :)

I personally would listen to the advice of tint(gary), as he is a window tinter by trade, and does this job (removing tint) nearly every day. steam gun makes for easy work.......
