Bay Area Tint Removal?

Looking for a shop to remove tint without damaging the rear defroster lines. Any recommendations?

Steam gun, or if you want to buy me a tank of gas I’ll do it.

I did mine when I picked up mine. Was a Arizona car, tints all around

On windows without defrost lines it's pretty simple. Just use an ammonia based window cleaner, some light heat (hair dryer is better than a heat gun if you're inexperienced), and peel away. The trick is to get the adhesive to come off with the tint and not stick on the window. It's easy to clean up adhesive residue on windows without defrost lines with a razor blade scraping tool if needed. The rear glass is tricky because not only is it hard to clean any leftover adhesive but you also need to be sure that the adhesive is broken down enough so it doesn't try to take the defrost lines with it.
