I dunno if you need to remove the tint...but if you do, I removed my tint last week.

Bought this stuff called "Gila" tint remover from advance auto parts, follow their instructions which is basically spray the stuff on, wrap in a garbage bag, leave for 30 mintues, then scrape off with a razor blade. tint comes right off

Whatever works...experiment. I used garbage bags for the sides, didn't use tape, just put it through the top of the window, closed the window and tucked it in at the bottom. Back window is a different story, yea
