Question on removing tint! HELP!
The company that I got my tint done from(Xtreme audio and tinting in Renton WA) did a HORRIBLE job on almost every window on my car! so yesterday I noticed there was a hair tinted into my glass and was wondering.... if they use the razor to remove the tint and put new tint on.... would the razor cut the rubber lines that are used to defrost my windows? or are they in the glass? thanks!

I think they would soak the window in some solution to facilitate the removal. If they recently installed, it shouldn't be too hard to take off.
But you're right, make sure they are careful and do not damage the defroster lines!

They shouldn’t use a razor for the rear window or any window for that matter.
I took out my tint on all of my 5 windows, and basically what you do is you soak it up in some solution, then you get a razor, chop the top (you can use your nail) then just pull the tint off. If you sprayed and prepped the window correctly, the tint will come out in ONE sheet, but if you didn’t, it'll be a pain in the *** to keep pealing.
Now its the same way for the rear, except you have to TAAAAAAAAAKE your time. Its a very annoying position to be in, but you have to pull the film easily, no need for razor there.

Be very careful. I screwed up with a razor on my old Integra and had to get a whole new back window. At least I tinted it before I put it in. 
Take your time. Those defroster lines are very fragile and I think the antenna is there too.

Will you still have all that sticky gunk left to deal with? Ive removed tint before and what a mess, the gooey stuff that sticks to the window.
