yes that's it just warm them up and pull them off, you will find that very little adhesive will be left when using heat to remove them.

if they have been done professionaly then see if you can swop with someone for non tinted ones......probably easier in the long run.

get 1 standard house brick , of any colour or texture , put on latex glove (powdered if possible) pick up said brick in right hand making sure you have a nice tight grip of the flat surfaces , vacate ones house , stand approx 5 -8 feet away from offending tinted window , retract ones arm backwards swiveling the body to illiminate any muscel injuries , then hurl forward in a curved movement keeping brick at head height . when brick passes level with nose release and shield face (protective glasses recomended) after 0.1 of a second your window tinting foes will be quashed and all will be good repeat on all offending windows
