This is your answer. Professional tinters who do this everyday for a living do not use ammonia and trash bags taped to the inside of windows. A small steamer, once you get the technique down, is the only intelligent was to remove tint film. If you do it right, there will not even be any residue left on the glass to deal with, or very little. You need to be patient w the steamer and really let it do its job before peeling the old stuff off.
Super-fine steel wool, (like 000 or 0000), is the only safe way to clean residue off of rear windows w defrost lines. Use lots of soapy water, mix DW liquid w water in a spray bottle.
