I want to remove the tint on my 850, its just old and not looking as good as it could. I realize this takes a lot of work, elbow grease and patience, but what about the rear window. Are the defroster lines embedded, or are they on the surface like other cars, just much smaller?

I don't want to ruin the defroster when I take the tint off of the rear windows...

 

The elements are on the outside of the glass.

Use a good window cleaner with alot of ammonia. It will also take a lot of razor blades as well.
Be very careful doing the back window.

 

It might help to use a hand held hair dryer to warm the area before you try to peel it off. Just a guess as I have never tried to remove my tint.

 

use razor blades and some liguid light butane. it will break down the glue really quick. just peel back the tint enough to squeeze some of the fluid behind it and slowly pull the tint. you can use it to clean up the glue off the window, but once you get the glue off follow up with a good glass cleaner.

good thing your doing this yourself cuase the tint guy will charge you alot more to remove and re-tint.

 

And in case if all else fails...
