Go to a professional tint shop and get it removed. It should run you about $60. You can do it yourself with ammonia, but it's messy and since youre weren't done the proper way you would be better of going to a specialist.

I went to walmart and purchased some kind of Tint remover. And got a windowscraper kit (Razor holder thing). Simply slice the tint, peel it off (I was lucky to get a couple windows in 1 peice.. but it might tear... simply just pull it all off). Then spray the whole window down with the tint remover and scrape that glue right off. Just be careful on the rear window not to scrape over the defroster lines. Its pretty simple.

Try this on one of your windows, use a trash bag and cut it out to match the window you want to remove the tint, spray a lot amonia on the windows and apply the plasctic trash bag to the window. Make sure it sticks to the window. close door and leave in sun for 1hr.

Remove trash bag and scrape with razor. I did this to my wife's car and it work pretty good.
