If you're taking it off the rear window and have defrost, you might want to use a heat gun.

You peel the film off with the blade. Windex is used to remove the adhesive

As a side note, never use ammonia based window cleaners when cleaning your tinted windows. This is what turns the tint purple over time.

My driver and passenger side windows have no tint and it sucks. Never have time to go get my windows tinted either, I'm always working
