start scraping..literally..if you keep it wet with some mild soapy water, it should peel off much more easily..make sure to have a razor blade but be careful not to scratch the glass

A hair dryer worked great for me when I replaced my tint...just take a butter knife and start at a corner and scrape off enough so that you can get heat to the under side. As you heat it up. it will peel off really nicely.

damn search noobs.

first spray soapy water all over the tint (in inside of window of course)

then U can cut a platic bag the shape of your window and tape it to it. Park the car in the sun for an hour or so, then the tint will peel right off.

then you can use like an amonia cleaner and clean the rest of the glue **** off.

For the back window with defrosters, it is a bitch to get all the glue off once you peel off the tint, you can take brillos to it real easy like and get it off but I have heard good and bad experiences with it.

be carefull with the rear window, try to peel the first layer of tint off and sprayteh glass with ammonia, put a trash bag onit and let it sit in dirrect sunlight for 2-3 hours. if you have a steamer it helps to put steam on it and scrape it with a squeegee but if not get a blue sos pad and keep it wet and it should take the adhesive off
