    Don't. Read the ticket first. When I got one I paid like 60 bucks for the violation and didn't have to get it signed off. If I got it signed off then it was like $10 bucks.

    But, if you do remove it, acetone works or move to AZ

    Used to help out at a tint shop.
    Pull the tint off slowly by working from one corner. Try to pull it easily and work it off in 1 large piece if possible.
    Take a spray bottle and fill it with water. Add a squirt of dish washing soap.
    Spray it all over the window where the film was removed. Use a good quality razor blade and scrape the glue off the window. As the water sets in, the glue loosens up and comes off like a bunch of boogers.
    Once all the glue is gone, use windex to clean the window.

    go and get a trash bag out of the garage..then slice it open and spray the inside of the window with water. place the trash bag on the glass like your tinting the window with it, except don't sqeeze all the water out of it.let the car sit directly in the sun for about an hour and a half.take the trash bag off the window and the tint will pull right off.then clean the glass and you done.
    i would not have believed it but i had to do it to my truck.

    Exactly how I do it. I also turn on the car and crank the heater at full blast for 45 minutes or so. I have done this to 3 different vehicles and the stuff comes off easy while also taking the glue with it. Very little cleaning to do if done right.

    Same thing I did a few months back.

    Hair dryer on medium. Don't use a heat gun unless you want new windows.....

    Yep trash bag is the best. Use a black one if you can, it works better when you leave it in the sun. just did it a month ago.
