Use a razor blade. Once done, go back over it with glass cleaner to get any small stuff that's left over.

I would check with some window tint shops.

I am sure they have to go through that process when they replace the tint on a car.

This is what I've used in the past. Spray it on, scrape it all off with a razor blade and paper towels

Goof off works well with a razor blade.


It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose…
as long as you look good doing it!

I have removed and cleaned lots, if you want to remove another peice, get under edge with razor blade and pull or if you have compressed air, a blower and blow it off, clean up with foam type window cleaner, lots of it and a razor blade, I have done 4 door glass and a back window like this in under one hour

Whatever carb / brake cleaner ya got laying around should do it. Spray it on, let it soak, scrap it off, revisit with cleaner on a rag as needed. Not sure I ever used it for window tint but it works for inspection stickers, those big nasty "tow me away" stickers, rear view mirror adhesive......

A razor blade is the best in such cases, and a simple windows cleaning solution afterward. It should help.
This is one of the reasons I don’t like tinting – it’s not easily removable and doesn’t look that good when damaged. That’s why I prefer using magnetic fabric sunshades with extensive UV protection in my car. These are easily removable and protect the insides of the vehicle from sun radiation well.
The area where I live is rather gloomy, and sometimes, I want more light in my car. Tinting would make it difficult for me to drive on days that are already too dark to see well.

Not sure about window tint glue, but I found that the Hops #9 gun cleaner dissolves many adhesives and is pretty safe on plastics.
Sort of like removing paint with brake fluid.
