Here's how I removed mine.....do at ur own risk....and in a very very well ventilated area

1. Things needed: Thick garbage bags cut up to slightly bigger than ur window
2. Ammonia (janitor-strength works best) in a spray bottle
3. Spray the ammonia on ur tints very carefully, avoid drips
4. cover the ammonia soaked window with a garbage bag and leave for 15/20mins
5. Get a plastic scraper and the tint should come right off

Some things to remember, Ammonia stinks, so leave ur doors/hatch/sunroof open to not get the smell in ur car. Wear gloves, if ur gonna use rags to avoid the drips, I suggest testing the rag out first, the rag may disintegrate depending on the concentration of ammonia, testing a small part of the tint may be a good idea too.

This method did not leave any glue behind and took me an hour or so to do.
