Default I heard it's real easy to do... use a razor blade to peel up a corner, and then pull!

Correct me if things have changed, but I know my mom's friend did this about 6 years ago when she bought a second hand car that had tint on the front windows.

Default bzzt, then you're left with glue. need tint removal spray, a plastic bag, the sun and a razor.

spray tint remover. cover window and spray with bag. park in sun for 30 minutes. return and peel off. should come right off with hardly any residue

Default I'm sorry man... My friend's BMW X5...

with the same percentage as you got caught in Birmingham. On his ticket, the box -waivable- was checked off. All he had to do was show the cop and it was fine. After he showed the cop he got them put back on. My A4's got 20% titanium all around with 50% on the windshield. The 50% makes a big difference.

infinitely less messy than just peeling the stuff off and then scraping all the glue from the window
