Try warming up the stuff with a hairdryer / heatgun then if it is lucid enough to peel away use either meths or isopropanol alchohol to clean away the adhesion.

Dunno chap, you've got a valid point there but its worth a shot mate. I've never come across anyone going for removal.

Be very carefull if you use a heat gun as you may well end up cracking the glass as it does not like the sudden rise in temperature!
Would probably be quicker to replace the glass in the first place then if a little expensive.
(Its a shame you did not take it of sooner as Outdoorpaul would probably have had them of you for his.)

where are yer based and what disco is it, i will swap glass with ya, i fancy pimping me roid
I have removed loads of these, use a heat gun to warm the tint where you want to start then start peeling, use the heatgun( you must keep the gun moving ) whilst pulling the tint.
Sometimes the tint keeps braking, sometimes you can peel the whole lot in one go, depends on how long they have been on.
Once all the tint is off, use white spirit or a gum remover then use a window cleaner.
