How to take off the tint in the car/ scrape off the excess sticky residue left behind

Youll need one of those steam machines. Youll need to heat that glue up to clean it.
If the scratch is deep enough it may have etched the glass. Depending how deep, it can be polished off.

steam machine may do the job but will be a bit messy on your interior i reckon... once you get the tint off use eucalyptus oil or metho to get it off

I use eucalyptus oil for adhesives. Can you get the tint off using a hair dryer? I used one on my old stickers and it worked well...

use nail polish remover to remove the remaining residues

X2 did that too. Works well.

dont scratch the de-mister runners on your back window ... they will never work again
easy solution ... take the car to a 3M dealer and get the whole thing re-done
will cost $300 and be guarenteed for life .. this is one of the best things i ever did with my car ... still looks like the day i took it in 4 years ago =D

Prepsol or wax/grease remover
$11 for 1L from autobarn should do the job
