Ammonia helps soften the tint.

I just did it, used a heat gun on the outside of the window while peeling from the inside.

Took about hours, now I just have to get the glue off.

I think i should have left the garage door open a little, I am very light headed from the melting glue/tint.

Fantastic cleaner and one of those scrubby sponges. Like a sponge with a plastic type scrubber all around it. You can use a razor blade too, but you need to be careful NOT to use it over the defroster lines for obvious reasons. :-p
