I have used this method with some success with really stubborn crappy tint.
You need;
Some black garden plastic or tuff plastic bags.
Ammonia.
Spray bottle.
Tint removal scraper. (Works out the same as buying lots of razor blades without the hazard of removing your finger tips)

Cut the black plastic into windowlike shapes.

Put the ammonia in a spray bottle and spray either the black plastic or the tinted side of the window with it, then slap the black plastic to the tinted side of the window (duh!) It should seal to the window.

Wait a hour or two or three, come back and remove the black plastic.

Sometimes the tint will come off at this stage or you may have to use the scraper to get it off but it will be easy peasy.

Works best when it's a hot sunny day and the car is parked out in the sun.

Or you could just pay the $100 to $150 to get panel beaters or tint shop to remove it...

PS Use gloves when playing around with ammonia, it's nasty stuff. Beware of fumes too.
