    • Roll down the window about 1/4 of the way so you can start to remove the tint from the top.

    • Heat the area with a heat gun at the window's edge.

    • Start by using the low setting on the heat gun to gradually heat the surface. After the area has warmed up, you can switch to high heat to make it easier to remove the film.

    • Use the razor blade to peel a small area of the tint film up.

    • Once you've peeled enough with the razor blade to use your fingers, heat the area, then peel with your fingers.

    • Don't pull with your fingers and heat the area with the gun simultaneously. You'll burn yourself.

    • Heat the film angling the heat gun up. This will ensure that the film will not rip easily.

    • When you've pulled enough film off so that you don't burn your fingers while simultaneously pulling, use a back-and-forth motion with the heat gun along the area where the film is still on the window while pulling on the film. (See next step)

    • Once you have removed the film from the top of the window, you can roll up the window.

    • Continue doing a back-and-forth motion and pulling on the film until all of the film comes off.

    • If the film rips, no worries. Just continue. You can heat up those sections and remove them later.

    • Once you have removed all of the film, spray the window with glass cleaner and clean the window with either a rag or paper towel.

    • For areas where some residue is still on the window, spray the area with glass cleaner and use the razor blade to scrape the area to remove the residue.

    • For really tough residue, use Goo Gone in lieu of glass cleaner.
