Default Easiest way of removing tint

Well, I would pay somebody to remove the tint and get it redone at a not so dark level, but the economy sucks and so does my paycheck. I have court June 4th for my tint, I would like to remove my tint before my court date so I can be found innocent with one less charge on my record. What is the easiest way of scraping this stupid ass violation off my windows?

hand held razor blade and a heat gun. or you can get new windows. but i think the heat gun will heat up the glue and then the razor blade will peal it off. then get some adhiesive remover. or you can take a hammer and break the glass and it will stay together. lol

Razor blade and windex. I did it to my old truck a while back. Worked really well but you just have to be able to take your time and get all of the glue off. Don't use heat.

Haha, thanks for the rag tip. I'm going to do it a little bit later tonight, man no ass behind clear glass

Oh well, I'm going to get it re-tinted soon, but a little bit lighter. I have a silver car, anybody have recommendations on a percentage? I don't want cop attraction. I was thinking possibly 36-40% in the front and 30 in the back?

It currently is 23 and 18
