    Easiet way is a scraper blade to start it off and a steamer. I did mine overa month ago and when I scraped it off it took ages and left alot of residue that had to be cleaned up with degreaser but with the steaamer it came off almost in one piece.

    good luck.

    Heat gun, scraper, and a product called Orange Solve to get the glue off. You can get this product at any chemical supply store.
    Theres two layers of film: the first one will come off in one piece and you wont need to heat it up, thats the protective film for the tint film. The second is the actual tint/coloured film makes sure you heat the film and then peel it off slowly bit by bit, always make sure its heated otherwise it will rip off in really tiny pieces.
    Once the tint is off spray the Orange Solve on and wait till it becomes like jelly and wipe it off. Thats what I did when I removed the tint of my windows and make sure you have a whole day and a lot of patience.

    I dont think you'll find someone to do it for $50 its a bit of work.

    my tints are coming off from the top of the front drivers window, im gonna take the tint off and a friend told me just peel off the tint and use a product called 'prepsol' to remove the tar and sticky stuff, if you never done it before just try one window at a time and be patient is what everyone tells me cause its not easy removing factory tints since they're done so well.

    pay tintacar $50 to do it. quicker than u doing it yourself, and should get a better result (ie, no residue or scratches)

    not worth the time and effort considering how cheap it cost to get it done

    a mate of mine used wet glad wrap and stuck it on his windows overnight and he removed them fine (day before his defect clearance).

    but like everyone else is saying, i would go to a pro myself!
