If you want to get it off fast try this. It worked for me and turned out perfect.

Get a product call GRAFFITTI REMOVER available at most hardware stores (or some auto parts). Take a razor blade and scrape at a piece of the tint. Be careful not to scrape the stuff to dust. Old tint doesn't like to come off in one sheet! After peeling back a corner or any other spot, spray the GRAFFITTI REMOVER on the area. Let it sit for a minute and then start to peel back the tint. Continue spraying on the GRAFFITTI REMOVER  as you go. Some stubborn parts may require  you to scrape off most with the razor blade. Don't worry about getting every little bit off on the first pass. When most of the tint is off, go back with the GRAFFITTI REMOVER  and some paper towels. Most of the small pieces of tint still on the window will be easily removed by cleaning the windows with GRAFFITTI REMOVER. Some may require a scrape to persuade them off. I did my entire van in less than an hour. Including the time to clean all windows with a glass cleaner after all the tint was off.

HINTS: Keep a lot of rags handy, don't let the GRAFFITTI REMOVER  drip on anything (it removes other adhesives well). If your tint is turning to dust as you scrape it use a vacuum to catch the stuff ( if you don't it'll be turning up for weeks)

GOOD LUCK
