A razor blade and if you want to make it easier to remove the glue they sell a tint remover spray at autozone and even wal-mart

Heat gun (or blow dryer), razorblade, tint film remover all work great together

Side windows are a breeze with even Windex and a razor blade. The back window is a lot more difficult since you cannot just use a razor blade due to the heater wires. Does anybody have good tips for a back window to make sure everything is removed for a nice new tint?

Just make a solution with soap, spray it on and it will loosen the film.

Glass cleaner and a razor blade is all you need
