wait for a sunny day.. spray the tint with windex/soapy water, and then place a black garbage bag up against the window, ontop of the windex/soapy water.. close the doors and let the sun heat up the tint.. leave it for at least half an hour.. come back remove the garbage bag, and use your finger nail to lift the corner of the tint. it should lift, and then slowly peel it away.. that's how i removed the tint on my windows.. took a couple tries, because the tint cooled off, so it took about 2 or 3 tries for each window.

Yeah that is the SMART and easy way to do it. Well in MN we have very shitty weather at times. In a Garage do all he said. But I used a heat gun on the outside and pealed from the inside. (2 people job) worked great. Messy though...
