The method used is sun and ammonia. You need to carry out this method on a sunny day. There are generally six steps to complete it. At the very beginning, please clean the window area. Clear both the exterior and interior sides for any attachments, like debris or stickers.
The six steps respectively are:
1. Cut the two black garbage bags open, and make sure they are roughly the shape of the rear window. Then spray some soapy water on the outside of the window and cover it with one of the black trash bags and smooth it flat. After this, stick some tape on the edge of the bag in case of wind blowing.
2. Cover all inside surfaces near the rear window with a tarp to protect your interior from the probable damage from ammonia. You are required to wear a mask, because the ammonia fumes are harmful to human body.
3. Spray undiluted ammonia over the entire interior surface of the rear window tint. Then quickly trap the ammonia against the window film with another trash bag, attach the bag edges to the window edging with masking tape. The sprayed ammonia will help the film to be peeled off later on.
4. Face your rear window to the sun and let the sun do the heat-up work. Park it in such a position up for 1 hour.
5. Start to peel the window film from a corner of the window using the razor blade. Lift the film and try to peel the film off in one entire sheet. At the same time spray some ammonia to prevent the tint from dry.
6. Remove any residual adhesive using ammonia and fine steel wool, and then wipe the area with a paper towel before it dries and sticks to the window again. Wash the whole window thoroughly with glass cleaner.
