Default Removing tint

Just like the subject says, anyone did this before? The tint on my rear windshield is bubbling really bad and I want to get rid of it. Any tips on how to remove it besides a razor blade and a heat gun? I'm worried about damaging the rear defroster lines so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

my friend was washing his tinted windows one time, and accidently put ammonia on them.....it took the tint right off. Maybe, try that out.

This is a great website...

http://www.tintdude.com/remove.html

I had to remove my fronts after my 2nd ticket in 2 weeks. I wiped ammonia on them to loosen them up, then sprayed the window with soapy water and peeled off the film section by section with a couple of razor blades. But this was easy because of no defroster lines...

Good luck.
