I used to own a window tinting business in Florida. It is not that difficult to remove the tint. All you need is an old credit card, a razor scraper, black plastic hefty trash bag and a product containing Ammonia D.
Spray down the tint with the Ammonia D product and place the plastic bag on the inside of the car and let the car sit in the sun. Check the tint every few minutes to make sure it is not dry. You want to keep it moist. You can use a razor blade on the front and side windows.
Do not use a razor on the back window. Use the plastic card to scrape the back window as you will be less likely to damage the defrost and antenna lines.
Keep the razor and plastic scrapers wet at all times when in contact with the glass. That will help prevent any damage to the glass.
The Ammonia D product will help to break the adhesive that holds the tint to the window. You may even be able to peal most of the tint off without using a scraper. I have done this many many times and got tint off in one piece. It takes alittle patients but anyone can do it.
The remainder of the adhesive can be wiped off using a rag with the Ammonia D product on it. I would do one window at a time. While doing the final cleaning of the first window you could spray down the next window and cover it with the bag.
Let me know if you have any questions.
