    heat gun works pretty well..and if there is any residue left on the glass after removing the tint, clean the glass using 3M glue/adhesive remover.

      amonia/soapy water mix and a razor blade works best. take your time and you'll be fine. use fine steel wool on the rear window, not a razor blade

        really simple...pick up a corner of the tint and try to peel it away in one piece. the adhesive stays behind so spray lots of windex on it to cut into it. then take a single sided razor blade and start scraping. this works for the side glass but you can't use the razor on the rear windshield; i scrubbed with terry cloth. it can get messy so you should cover up the door panel and rear deck.

            on the rear window
            using a steamer, makes hot steam to soften the glue.
            or get an amoina cleaner, a black trash bag, and towl
            cover the rear tray w towel
            spray the window tint with amiona, then smooth the bag on the tinted side of the window, and let it sit in the direct sun for an hour, checking- spray more it to make sure its kept wet. this will help to soften the glue. it mostly a pain to do the rear- alot of scrubbing

              as mentioned, peel off the tint...the adhesive will stay but use ammonia (concentrated window cleaner) and a razor blade...i think its a pain to do but it can be done...i even had my windows out when i did it but it isnt necessary

                I use straight Ammonia in a spray bottle...

                and the razor option after it soaks for a few minutes... do it where there is VENTILATION....

                and yeah... BE CAREFUL with rear window!

                  when i got my tint done, there was another car gettin old tint off and new on, they heated it with a heat gun or u could prolly use a hari dryer, then get the edge and peel and u can also use a razor blade but be careful on the rear window cause of your defrost. if there is anything left over then you can prolly use goo-b-gone on it, that removes sticky crap good

                      thats a good point, but hey, if its a 4dr then thats 25 bucks, do it yourself of take it to the "professionals", just make sure either way that its done right
