if you search, you will find something.
cover interior with trashbags, spray amonia on the window, tape garbage bag around window to "bake" let sit for an hour, scrub off. DONE.
Make shure its warm outsite.

Yeah my tint was way beyond the point of no return.
I did the amonia baking method and it couldnt penetrate the 15 yr old tint so I had to resort to using a blad on the entire rear window basically ruining the defrosters but its no big deal to me because I dont use them. Im in CA and plus I wont be driving the car in conditions where they would be needed.

try peeling it off. Get some single edge razor blades and some 409.
Spray the 409 on the left over glue residue, then scrape with the razor blade. Only takes a few min to get clean.

Another option is a steamer. Ive heard of this being very effective at removing tint.

The first part of this link expalins some methods of removing tint.

Thanks All i will try them all as long as it comes off. Its 30 degrees here now so i cant really do the garbage bag trick till it gets warmer.

I removed my tint on a cold morning and it all peeled off in one big sheet and left nothing behind.

They key thing to note is if you start peeling it off, and notice that the layers are separated, stop and take it somewhere. They can save it for you rather than ruining it all.

I've had a shop work on my supra two times while i've owned it.

1. remove my tint
2. flush my radiator


I did my front two windows with a razor blade... easy.

The rear three SUCKED.

I tried, I spend about 3 hours working on the rear. Then I paid a shop 20 bucks and they did it in an hour. wo0t!
