i am having the same problem too. Im "thinking" of trying to peel it off and using rubbibg alcohol to get the adhesive off but i dont know for sure.good luck. if it works ill let you know

could try heating it up to remove it.

razerblade & glass cleaner. you would be supprised how stong that tint is!! peal one corner (make sure to get both layers) and pull. it took me about 15mins to do my 4door elantra. shit is stong. i had to yank it preatty damn hard at times for it to come off.

after you get that stuff off use the glass cleaner and razerblades to get any left over glue off. i was worried about that when i started, but after the front windows i knew i had nothing to worry about. it comes off preatty well, dosnt splinter.

I have done my share of tinting. Just get a corner and rip it as fast as you can in the largest chunk possible. Then you take cleaner (preferably some sort of glue remover if you can get it) and steel wool and just steel wool the shit out of it. It will not wreck the the defrost wires. It can be kinda messy, so lay down some newspaper in the trunk and just get comfortable.

i think id rether pay someone to do it 4 me it cost like 50 bux

just get a hair dryer, glass cleaner and a razor blade. pick a corner and peel the edge loose with the blade then peel it back heating it up with the hair dryer as you go. once you get it all peeled off clean the window a couple times to get rid of the glue.
most of it dissolves with plain old window cleaner.

DONT USE STEEL WOOL if will scrath the window and possibley take the coating off the defroster wires. and its overkill anyway

the best way is to get a black hefty bag and cut it open, then place it on the window get a hair dryer and heat the back up, once you see the bag has sealed to the window tint just peel off and all of the glue and tint will come right off without a problem.

Steel Wool will not scratch the windows at all. I guarantee it. Just use the glue remover and you are set. I have done quite a few windows this way and you are okay. There are tonnes of shops that do this. My back window looks totally perfectly new, it doesnt scratch it nor will it wreck the defrost lines.

HOWEVER

If that works, that sounds totally brilliant. I am going to have to try that. All I am saying is that Steel Wool will not wreck it.

another good glue remover is glass cleaner with Ammonia. spray it on and let it sit for about 30 seconds and it just wipes off.

Spray the window down with glass cleaner( Windex w/amonia works best), cover with black plastic bag and set in sun for a couple of minutes, pull on corner of tint with even steady preasure and tint should just peel off without leaving glue.
