There a prodect to remove it that5 you can get from most autostores, but just peel it off and use soap and water to get the glue off once its gone, Also a ravor blade on a WET windows works good too, but DONT use it if the window is double curved, follow the curve in it so you dont scratch the hell out of it. Ie go up and down not side to side, just like if you were shaving

for the side windows use soap and water and a flat blade. if you can pull the first layer of tint off and spray the rest with the soap and water and use the blade on its side to scrape the adhesive off. if your gonna do the rear window be very carefull because of the defrost lines. the defrost lines are very brittle because they are ceramic and if you do it wrong you will lose the defrost lines. for the back pull the first layer of film of and then spray some ammonia on it to break up the adhesive. let it sit in the sun for a couple hours and then use a blue sos pad to scrape the rest do not use the blade on the rear becuase if you do youwill go right threw the defrst lines. personal for the back i would take it to a professional to have it removed (or at least the back window).
