the tint on the side windows should not be a problem. it pretty much should tear off in one piece. you can use a little ammonia to help de-activate the glue. the harder part is making sure you get ALL the glue off the windows before you put the next sheet on.

The rear winshield is a different story. Even for pro's, it's a pain in the ass because of all the defrost lines. the general consenses among tinters is to spray the rear winshield film with a mixture of water and amonia, and cover it with a garbage bag. Then leave the car out in the sun for a few hours and the film should just slide off. It takes time though.

Break your back window and claim it on insurance....get a new one...then re-tint. I hear you can do that, though I don't know anyone that has
