Razor blade around the edges then peal off what you can. Then razor blade off the remaining. Then you will need to remove the glue w some laquer thinner or the like

No way around using a razor blade really. Just be carefull with the razor blade so you don't scratch the glass too much.

I was told to use warm soapy water, and a razor blade. It should peel right off. I've never tried it, but the place where I had my Saturn done says this is how to do it.

I have found that some wall paper stripper works pretty good. Taking it off a window that has rear defrost, the razor blade will ruin the defroster grid, so I had to find a better method. I have it half off, just haven't had the time to do it all, as you have to let it soak a while, then come back. Make some marks in the tint with a razor will speed up the process. The remover gets under the tint and you practically wipe it off.
