I have a good friend who is doing the same with a Subaru he bought. The tint
was one of those cheap DIY jobs and looked crappy. He bought a kit for
removing the tint that came with the cleaner, at Advance Auto Parts, IIRC...

It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my
reasons for them! - Friedrich Nietzsche

	I talked to a guy that does window tinting today.  I'm having them
remove my
	back window tint(under warranty); it had a defect, so I just told
them to
	remove it and leave it off.  Anyway, he said they spray a soap and
water
	solution onto the tint and then apply black plastic sheeting to the
window.
	They then sit the car out in the hot sun and let it bake for a few
hours.
	He said there was a trick to this and if you let it sit just right,
you can
	pull the tint off in one big sheet.  I know it sounds a lot easier
than it
	actually is.  Then you have a sticky film left on the window.  He
said they
	use a commercial grade cleaner to remove the sticky stuff.  The
cleaner his
	shop uses is called "Simple Pink"; kind of like "Simple Green" only
	stronger.

	I remember a guy with a 944 asking questions on here about how to
remove his
	window tint.
