Default How do you remove window tint?

I need help here, this tint is stuck on really well. I need some pointers, or is there any special way to get it off easily?

razor blade, 3M adhesive remover, Simple Green household cleaner (in lieu of ammonia), black trash bag.

cut out the trash bag in the shape of the window, spray down the window with simple green put the trashbag over it. it will stick. Let it sit in the sun, the longer the better. Grab the razor blade and peel off enough to get it going. The film should be easy enough to peel off you can continue using your hands. If you are good, it should come off in one or two huge pieces. spray down with 3m adhesive remover (or use simple green, 3m works better imo) and wipe off the tint residue.

Use this technique on the door windows first, then you will be more prepared to take on the rear tint with the defroster lines.

Use a heat gun an heat up a small area then start peeling the tint back. This should warm up the glue enough so you can peel it off. You will likely need to put some elbow grease to remove the left over glue and anything else left by the tint.

try using a hair dryer to melt down the glue so it would more easily come off.
