The tint is fairly easy to remove.

It's the bastard glue that's an issue!

The glue is a complete nightmare to take off. I was actually gonna buy new side windows and fit them it was that much off a ballache.

Use a blade to get the glue off as long as its a flat blade and new it will do it easily just keep changing the blade so it doesn't scratch the window

Use a heat gun on the outside of the window then after a few mins warming the window up get a mate to rip it straight from the inside with one hard pull.

It will reduce the amount of glue left on the window.
