Cost or difficulty to remove window tint
Does anyone know the approximate cost to have this done? Alternatively, is it easy to do yourself? I feel like the rear window could be a pain in the ***.
In Germany I have been forced by the TÜV to remove ALL my window tints :-( An idea of cost from the US or EU would both be helpful!

You can do this yourself, however it's messy and time consuming. They sell a spray on liquid that helps to loosen the glue and as you peel back you spray.
I might suggest taking it to a professional to have this done, worth the money IMO.
Don't know the cost as I've never removed tint from any of my cars.

I bought an F250 pickup with dangerously dark tinted windows. I removed the tint myself. It was fairly easy, used a razor-blade scraper to get the tint material started, then it just peeled off nicely.....leaving all the glue in place. I used the razor-blade to scrape the glue, and then cleaned it all up with paint thinner. The PO had tinted the windshield about halfway down. You cant tell the tint was ever there, except when the windows fog up....the previously tinted section fogs slightly differently than the part that was never tinted, but other than that its not discernable.

"take your time" is not advise that I seem able to employ! Seriously, the razor blade method did not take very long.
One point about the Porsches, you have to fool the door latch into signaling that the door is closed when its not, so that the windows will go all the way up....just don't forget that you have done this and try to shut the door, it will damage the catch mechanism.

This. This is what most of the pro's do too.

I used a steamer and it worked ok. You can just remove most of it with a razor blade and use Windex to dissolve the glue.
One word of caution. Be very careful around the rear defroster. Don't scratch those lines. If you do, it won't create heat on that line and will prevent the defroster from working. There is no fix.
