I have heard you can do it with undiluted ammonia but it's a huge mess and frustrating. You may want to just ask a tint shop in your area what they charge for removal.

Some quick Googling revealed that the ammonia method is the best, but reading some of these how-to guides just makes me go "fuck that, I'll pay someone."

I removed mine a couple years back with minimal residue left over by using a steamer, heating the tint up and peeling. The steamer will make the glue lift and stick to the actual tint as apposed to sticking to the window. Any left over glue on the window, you can use a razor blade and soap and water mix to lubricate the window to use the razor blade. Be careful with the rear window though it's very easy to damage the defrosters.

steamer for working on clothes, i took a full car tint with it. Works flawlessly, didnt even have to use a razor and soap afterwards. The key is not to rush, take ur time using the steamer on the tint and window

Very easy, just take your time. I've also heard of spraying the window with ammonia and sticking a trash bag to that and letting it sit out in the sun for a while and the tint will peel off like a static cling sticker. |

If you want the heat and IR blocking capabilities without the dark color, look at stuff like 3M Crystalline. It's available in transmission percentages like 70 -- I have it on my car and you can't even tell it's tinted (very faint light blue color), but it blocks almost as much heat/IR as a 30% film.

This seems to be the method but I am worried about using a razor blade eon the back windows. Maybe another method for the rear windshield?

Use a less abrasive scotchbrite or scrub pad and some foam window cleaner (sprayway) to get the glue off of the back window. It'll take some elbow grease.
And as far as the razor blades go, make sure to use STAINLESS razor blades. Carbon blades can scratch the glass. |
