Jeff,

Window tint is adherred to the glass with a very thin layer of glue. You
might try simply dry stripping the tint from the glass. Works sometimes,
sometimes doesn't. If not, then with a razor - careful! you can scratch
the glass really easy - make a slice throught the tint, work the edge up
with the razor, then use a sponge with warm soapy water and work it
along the edge as the tint is peeled back. The warm soapy water should
soften the glue as you go. After you are done, and with the window wet,
use the razor blade to scrape the remaining glue from the glass. There
are some good razor blade holders out there. Work with the blade at a
low angle.

Good Luck,

Regards,
