Default how to remove window tint?

i have 35% on my truck on the passenger side window, since the rear and side windows were both broken and replaced they have nothing. the rear is "privacy" glass now so I'm going t put limo on it and 25% on the sides, need to remove the 35% on the passenger side now. any tips?

First, get you a spray bottle with some soap and water and set it aside. next have a razor blade handy. then roll the window down maybe 2 inches. start at the top right. use the blade to start peeling back the tint. It will most likely tear, but dont worry, just use the blade to start on the part that tore. Once the tint is off, take the spray bottle and spray the entire window and let it sit for about 5 mins and do it again. then take the blade and start scraping the adhesive off. do it until the entire window is clean. then if you have a glass cleaner, i use invisible glass, in the spray bottle, not the can, and clean that b*tch until you cant see anything but clear glass.
I did this to all of my windows about 2 months ago. just take your time with the removal of the tint and you will be happy with the results.

Edit: im about to have my windshield tinted, if you want the hook up on tint let me know, i know a guy that will do anything and it looks great.
