straight amonia and a razor blade. For the rear hatch, use fine steel wool to take the glue off. That is so you dont mess up the rear defogger lines. There is a sweet little trick to getting the rear tint off WITH the glue though. It MUST be warm out, and has to be in direct sunlight. Get a black garbage bag, and cut it open so as to make it like a sheet of plastic. Place it on the outside of the window, and tape it in place, so it doenst move around. Then, cut out and trace the bag in the shape of the back window as good as you can. After you are done, take that bag to the inside of the car. Spray down the tint on the back window very well with amonia. Soak it good. NOw take the bag and plaster it against the inside window, trying to smoothe it out a bit over the window tint. Kinda like "tint" the back window with the bag. Now, let the car sit in the sun for a good 30 minutes. Remove the bag, peel off a corner of the tint, and then peel off the rest of the tint off of the window. The glue will majically come off with the tint. NO glue residue left behind! Trust me, it works every time.

Ya I used the garbage bag method but I just used windex on it. Wait till its nice and hot out and almost all of the glue will come off with the tint. Any remaining glue i cleaned off with rubbing alcohol.
