use some water in a spray bottle to soak it, and take a utility razor to it, the straight ones....

when I was at Pepboys the other day, I was near the spray paint sections and I saw some spray that took off tint. Try that.

you can take the window tints off w/ a razor w/ no problems. the rear needs to be done different, if you take a razor to it your defronst wont work anymore. I think it needs to be taken off w/ a steamer.......

I took the tint of my ride cuz they wanted to charge an arm and a leg to do it. I used a hair dryer and a razor. If you do it right you wont need the razor just heat it up and then VERY GENTLY pull and keep on doing it, heating up one section and pulling. It leaves that glue reside, when it is warm it will come off with windex. However, if it dries (which my rear window did) use that tint off crapola, its pretty cheap at walmart too.
