I've tried this method before. The tint did peel right off but it left behind a nasty residue.

If you melt your window with a heat gun you're either trying very hard to melt it or an idiot who shouldn't be using a heat gun in the first place.

actually i did. Why spend 3 hrs scrapping tint and residue off with a razor blade when you can just use windex and a trash bag. This method is very time efficient. Im just trying to save him some time. You can do it the hardest way if you want to.

And your rear window is tempered safety glass. It wont melt it will shatter. Why in the world would you attempt to heat the entire window with a heat gun. You wont get the heat evenly distributed hints why you had to use a razor blade.

and like 12 other people said use goo be gone or just use windex with the left over residue
