**Clothes steamer. I bought mine from Aldi, when it was on special.
Dunno how much. Maybe $50.00. Worked a treat, then sold it on Gumtree
for $30.00. MUCH cheaper than I was quoted by a pro. The whole job took
about 30 minutes.

**I started removing the stuff manually, but quickly realised that
damage to the rear window demister was highly likely. AND, the job would
have taken hours. And it was proving to be fucking messy (tiny bits of
plastic EVERYWHERE) I Googled it and a huge number of hits came up with
the steamer idea. The stuff literally fell off in large sheets.
Bugger-all mess and the job was quick. Zero damage to the demister. Use
a steamer. You won't be sorry. Kartcher have a steamer that might work.

Steaming works a treat *but* it depends on the state of the glue/tint.
If it is really bad it won't come off in large sheets at all. I only
ended up using the steam on the rear window with the demister but on the
other windows steam had no real effect and it was actually quicker and
easier to just use the scraper and there was no damage to the glass at
all. It only took half an hour to remove all the tint from the windows
and probably that long again using a shitload of steam for the rear
window with the demister so as not to damage it.
