One method that another car list used was effective, but smelly. On a sunny
day, they would spray ammonia on the tint, then stick sections of black
plastic garbage bags over the wet ammonia, and let it sit in the sun for a
couple of hours (with the doors open!!). Apparently the tint practically
falls off the windows after that.

Everyone I talked to has told me that one way or another, that tint has to
come off the driver and pass side windows. It's only a matter of time
before I get a fix-it. The rest can stay, because I have two outside
mirrors. I see CHP every day, so I'll be pulling it off when I get a
chance. I heard lots of windex is required to break down the adhesive.
Oh yeah, and there's no front plate either...
