To remove tint from plain windows doesn't seem too hard, I find if I
slit the tint in about two or 3 inch strips I can peel the layers with
a razor without too much trouble. However, on the rear window with
defroster lines, what's your favorite way of doing it to avoid
damaging the defroster lines?

Same drill, but make sure you cut where the lines aren't.

once the tint it off you can soak the adhesive with simple green to remove it
wiping with the line carefully
