Rear window tint question

Is the factory tint a laminate like after market tint or is it 'in' the glass? The previous owner has a sticker on the inside of the window and I'd like to know before I break out the razor blade. It's too cold to just try and peel it off anf the old hair drier didn't work either. Thanks.

The factory tint is lamanated inside the glass, but aftermarket is on the inside surface. I would test a small corner of the window first to make sure it's factory before you start scraping imo.

The factory tinted glass breaks like an untinted window, into a billion pieces.

Except for where his sticker is! Good reason for a light, aftermarket tint back there!
