Try a black garbage bag cut to the shape of the window on the inside of the car. A tinter I know just sprayed simple green on the inside of the window, put the trash bag over the simple green covering the window.

Left it outside in the sun and it usually made the tint come off a lot easier....sometimes as easy as peeling it off with the glue.

But also try searching on a tint forum, I'm sure they have some good tips.

I've done this twice on both of my Integras. Use a hairdryer to heat the glue adhisive holding the tint on. Start at a corner of the window and just peel it off. If it starts sticking, use the hairdryer to heat the window up again. Try it in the middle of the day after you've had your car sitting out in the sun. To get the glue off I used soap and water and a razor blade. If you use the metal razor blade for the back window with the defrost lines, just be careful about it. I used the metal blade on my 4 door Integra and didn't screw up any defrost lines.

Window cleaner with amonia will take it off the easiest.

How too:

Take a black trach bag and cut it open. Then cut it in half and use one half to cover the outside of the window and the other half to cover the inside of the window. Before you apply the bag to the inside, soak the window with the amonia windwex then apply the pag to that and let car sit in the heat for about 1/2 hour to 45 mins. When you go to pull the bag off the tint should come with it. if not apply more windex and redo.
