Wet the tint, place a BLACK plastic garbage bag over the window, put defrost on high heat and leave car running for 35 minutes - 1 hour. It will peel right off with no residue.

I helped a buddy take his tint off with a heat gun and razor blade. After that mess I would rather just pay a professional to do it.

on a sunny day, place tin foil on the inside of ur windows. Wait as long as desired, prolly at least an hour or two, then go out and proceed to peel. This seems to work the best.

I don't want to explain the facts of why it works, however, I PROFESSIONALY installed window tint in my local area for all the basketball and footplayers, and other side jobs until I realized I had a brain, now I'm using it rather than installing tint.

If you do get left over glue, use simple green, it is the only thing that will biodegrate the glue so you can rub it off.
