Default Window tint remove.

I hate window tint and almost all the cars in my price range have their rear side and rear windows tinted. Once a bought a Alfa 155 with tinted rear windows and while removing the tint sucessfully i broke both electric window motors due to the solvent i was using running down the glass into the motors.

I also ripped some of the rear window heater off when pulling the tint away so you can imagine i am shy of buying tinted cars again.

Anyone on here know a good way to get the stuff off? Do you think a place that puts tint on could remove the stuff as well as they put it on?

I use a hot air gun to soften the glue, then it should peel away quite easy
