Fine steel wool when wet stays together pretty well. I wasn't aware of a non-scratching Scotch Brite material, that sounds great for the job. As long as it's gentle enough, the defroster lines have their own coating that is fairly easy to damage and then you lose their insulation.

Brian, the fact that the rear window tilts up in that 'vette makes the job 100 times easier and less unpleasant. Laying in the back of a sports car doing a raked rear window like that would not be fun. I don't like very dark tint on cars but it's awesome if it comes on a used car that was in a sunny area. It protects the heck out of the interior and you can just remove it, like you did, and either put lighter tint in or go without.

I didn't like the tint, it was to dark. The one thing I regret from removing the rear tint is now the reflection from the sun makes it hard to see the factory gps/radio
When I had a 911 I used the same method to remove the tinted glass. Lying in the back like a pretzel to remove the rear tint, fun times.
