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.

you sound like a pro decoy the way to stop it ripping is useing steam it sofens the glue but good point with the soapy water

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.......
