what is the best way to remove window tint besides using a razor blade? i know thats probably the most effective but im afraid ill damage the rear defrost and be screwed, so im wondering if there is a better way to remove it.

this is what my tint looks like now, so as you can see its a driving hazard, i dont use mirrors!

inside looking back


outside looking in


it looks so ugly!

dude.....grab a corner and peel it off...it'll be super easy...theres no need to soak the glass in amonia or spray anything on it, thats just more of a PITA and more work then anything...peel one side a little bit and pull that crap off....all tint is is a big sticker...i dont understand why people are so afraid of it...

It's not that simple. Tint is NOT a big sticker. It has to be glued on. If he tries to peel it off, it will simply rip then he'll be missing a corner and still have 3/4 of the tint stuck to his window. And where he manages to get the tint off, he'll still have glue stuck to the window. That's why he has to soak it in ammonia or scrape it with a razor blade.
