Default Removing window tints

Hi,

I've just purchased a 2006 STI Haweye that has rear window tints that I would like to remove. I have seen a recent thread that seems to suggest that the best method is to use a heat gun and solvent. My question is will the use of these and/or the removal of the film damage the heated rear screen or aerial?

Thanks

Gav
