Put aside the better part of a day, grab some fresh razor blades, warm soap and water and go to town.

The money you save by not paying to have it removed will cost you a headache, but you can do it yourself. It's just a time consuming pain in the ****.

the glue that holds tint on is VERY strong and VERY VERY sticky. use razor blades, warm water and soap, googone (other glue removers). I find acetone works real well too.

Its very easy, just take a razor blade to lift one of the edges and then just peel it off, theres no glue just peel it off ! Why are you taking them off in the first place ???

razors work well with the side windows, but not with the rear one. because of the defrost wires on the back glass you have to soak it with ammonia for about 1-2 hours and then peel it off. the way i've done it is to spray it with an ammonia based cleaner, then put trash bags on the inside of the wondow while it's wet. that way the bag will stick to the window. then park it in the sun with the windows down for about 1-2 hours. then peel away carefully and be sure to get propper ventalation.
