Angry Removing window tint film

I've been having problems with removing the tint on my back window on my camaro, I try to pull the film off in big chunks and I peel off little bits at a time.

At this rate it will take 10 hours to get this crap off! I'm almost considering changing the whole glass.

The side windows were pretty easy though. They came off in no time.

The back window though............maybe it's because the tint got so much more heat from the sun and this stuff is sorta baked on????


Any ideas on how to get this done, faster?

Thanks

Ammonia and soap solution... always worked wonders for me... spray it on and let it soak...

Did you happen to let the sun heat it up 1st?

what i mean by that is when a board member did mine he told me to take a black trash bag and cut it into the shape of my window. Then mix some soap and water in a spray bottle and spray it on the window and press the trash bag against it. It should stick. Make sure you get as much as out between the window and the trash bag (this really pays off later).

Then park your far outside with the window facing the sun for a few hours and let your window get hot. after that take the trash bag off and start pilling. .

Also to get most of the left over glue off you can use one of those pad thing that you use for cleaning like pots and pans ( the green things) but it has to be a white one so it won't take of the defroster thingys.
