How to remove tint
#2
Go to PepBoys or some store of that sort. They sell a tint removal kit. It comes with a liquid spray and a scraper.
The scraper has a razor blade in there.
I suggest taking the interior door panels off for 2 reasons. 1. so that you fully get off all the tint and goo and 2. so that you dont accidentally scratch or cut your interior.
The directions will tell you the same but you need to spray the liquid on the windows and leave em there for like 5-10 mins. The longer you leave it, the more it will break away at the sticky stuff that keeps the tint on your window.
Take the blade in your hand and just begin to remove the tint from the top of the window. Then using the scraper with the blade in there, just start going at your window. Spray some more of the liquid every once in a while just to keep the goo comin off.
When you think your done, take some lighter fluid and spray it on your window, then go over your window with the scraper, it should help to get rid of any left over residue.
If you havnt done it before than it may take about 2 hours for your windows.
BUT....for removing your REAR WINDOW....DO NOT USE THE ABOVE METHOD....there is a way to do it properly but I dont know the method. The reason you dont do what I just explained is bc you have the defroster lines in the window and scraping it with the razor would most probably ruin it.
Good Luck man!

If you absolutely insist on doing it yourself then these links might help you out.
They pretty much all say the same thing.
