Removing Window Tint The EASY Way!
The easiest way to remove window tint from a car window is to use a simple clothes steamer. I picked mine up from Target for about $20. This was from my Mercury Cougar. It had bubbled up purple tint on it and I thought it would be impossible to remove. I even called a tint shop and they wanted $200 + to do it.
So I started looking around and found this way. WOW, was I surprised. Total of 1 hour to remove the rear window tint with NOTHING left behind. Don't use razer blades, you can damage rear defroster lines! Anyhow, you take the steamer and start steaming the shit out of a corner of the tint. Now here is the important part: GO SLOWLY!! I can't stress this enough. If you go too fast, the glue and the tint may separate and you'll have a mess to clean up. Trust me, it's worth it to go slow. Turn on some music, crack open a beer, and TAKE YOUR TIME. Best part is, if you get some overspray, no biggie, it's just water! It will proabably take at least a half hour per window to get the tint off. After you're done, you may have some glue left on the window, but not much. Take some Laquer thinner and use this to clean anything that's left on the window. After it's clean, use either some ammonia free cleaner if you're retinting the window, or just some windex if you're not to get the laquer smell out. Now you can see the Chevy's out of the rear window better as you pull away from them!!! Just wait until you sober up first

I have always found the best way is a nice cold day. Last 2 cars I stripped took 15 minutes to do the whole car. Did not heat the tint at all. Came off in big sheets.
