How Do I Remove Window Film???

I know this has been asked before, but I need my memory refreshed.....

My IROC is just getting finished up at the paint shop and I now will need to remove the old rear window film without destroying the defroster lines.

The tint has big 8" round holes of missing tint, so it needs attention IMMEDIATELY!.

Thanks in advance....

i did it on my car. its not that hard. i used a razor to lift the tint up alittle. then once i could pull it, i took it right off. when you do it just take your time and watch the defroster. you could also use a heat gun or hair drier to losen the adhesive. hope this helps.

I found this site pretty informative regarding window tinting. All my questions were answered here.

It just takes a razor blade, time, and patience.
