I applied the steam until the tint was good and soggy and starting to loosen, then I started digging a little with a fingernail in the top corner of the window where it meets the (A?) pillar, feeling for a loose spot. I had no trouble at all working up a bit of the edge to grab, and once I had it, the rest came up in a single sheet, just a couple of tiny spots of glue residue left behind which, with a little more steam, wiped right off. I kept the steam going as I worked, and mostly peeled the tint material back on itself, rather than pulling it away from the window. The side and wing windows took me less than a minute each from first application of steam to tint-free, clean window.
