Removing tints
Get a razorblade, and carefully cut a part, and start peeling. You'll need a lot of rubbing alcohol to get it off. Maybe googone as well. I did it with my Accord once, and took tint off the two front windows. Very time consuming.

Just pull off the tints, then spray clear vue all over the glass where the glue is, then take a razor blade and scrape the glue off. The Clear Vue will make the glue very soft so when you scrape it off it will bunch up together and look like rubber cement and come clean off your window. Just dont do that to your rear window cause of your defroster lines, you will need to have that one done professionally. I did my side windows on my accord and on my 300ZX and never had a problem. I think it took me about 20 minutes per window and it was spotless. The Clear Vue makes the glue very soft and easier to remove but you deffinitely need to use a razor blade to get that glue residue off.
Instead of alcohol, try ammonia (NH3). Ammonia is a polar molecule and will be able to dissolve the tint adhesive. Be careful about inhaling it though. Get one of those surgical face masks (they are cheap), and some gloves. If you can't find a place to buy concentrated ammonia, buy some windex and that will do. It still will take a lot of cutting and time though.
Sup guys....just took them out yesterday night and DAMN! I hope I don't have to do that again. I used goo gone and a razor blade...took me about an hour to finally get everything off. Thanks for the info guys!
