Damn, I must have had it easy. My car had mirror tint all over it when I got it; I picked at the corner of the window until it started to come up, and peeled the whole sheet off by hand. A little Goo Gone and that was it.

Here is a quick way: Ride aroung town with your camera, find a car that resembles yours without tinted windows, take a pic, take the pic to court with you and there you go. Oh, you might not want to drive your car (with the tint still on it) to court hahahahaha I know someone who did this, classic!

There is a diy thread for this on h-t, let me see if I can find it!
