Get some ammonia, spay on the window, place a garbage bag over the window so seal the ammonia on it, park it in the sun(for heat) or heat the window up in some creative fashion(halogeon light?) take bag off in 20 min and should come off practically on it's own.

I read this some where, never tried it but ammonia does break the tint down, ever seen cars with purplish tint, thats because it was cleaned with an ammonia based window clearer(windex) too much. If you don't want to bag the windows, I'm sure if you just spay it on the window and keep it saturated enough it will eventually break it down.

I've down this, it works but it leaves the glue on the window, which then has to been cleaned up. It is very sticky without the film on it, Acetone will remove it but it will probably be a messy process.

they sell these tint removing spray in Kargan/pepboy.
or
my frined used thinner, spary it on, let it sit, the tint will soften up, then use a blade to take it off, use thinner to clean it up afterward.
but it could ---- up ur interior and stinks for weeks.
