on the side windows use a razor blade
on the back window not to get the defroster messed up.. spray the tint with amonia and put a black plastic bag on the outside.. let it sit in the hot sun for like an hour and half and the tint will fall right off.. even though it will stink..

I thought that you could just peel it off, but that might just be with the tint strips on the windshield

SOmtimes you might get lucky and it peel off in one sheet, only if it is relatively new. But the amonia and plastic works all the time.

unless it's the cheap static tint, then you'll have no problem just pulling it off

Great tip with the ammonia! Thanks.

Someone said amonnia eats clear coat, is that true? So I know whilst I'm handling it around the car...

Great Tip Queez!! Thanks! I bought the car a while ago and it's got this cheap looking tint on it that kinda looks purple and not black. So I want to take it off and have some good tint put on.
