heat gun, you can also spray a solvent on the film to help remove it, but it stinks.

Spray simple green on tint, put black plastic bag on spray and tint, park in sun, remove when hot.

Default Windex, razor blade and A LOT of goo-gone.
Basically any product with ammonia in it will get the tint off. And yes it is a complete pain in the ***, getting the adhesive off is the worst.

Default First off, why in the heck would you tint your windshield in the first place? As far as I know, it
is illegal to have any tint on it in all states, correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, it is dangerous.
