This job takes a long time, so set aside a hot afternoon. And don't forget to clean the shit out of the windows afterward because there will be quite a bit of glue left behind. I use lots of windex and razor blade for this. Again the rear window is the hardest because you can't use a razor blade to scrape the glue (or you'll ruin the defroster)...
And don't forget to protect the rest of your interior (door panels & dash boards) from the harsh amonia windex (use more plastic bags)...

I have actually had to do this on a few of my cars. The best way to do it is to heat up the outside of the window either with a heat gun on low or a hair dryer. Try to peel of as much of the fim as possible with your finger nail. After you do that there is going to be a bunch of that sticky residue still on the window.
From there you need to go buy the good window cleaner that is the white foamy kind in an airisol can.
You want to spry it on heavy. While it is still fresh, use a brand new very sharp razon blade and go from the bottom of the window to the top ion one motion, similar to mowing a lawn. Repeat all the way down the window. You want to be very carefull not the scratch the window, so keep applying the window cleaner. I think I used at least two fresh razor blades on each window to make sure they are sharp.
Also, when you are using the razor blade, hold it at the same angle on every swipe like you are sharpening a knife.
Hope it helps. Have a good one
