	And if you have a rear defrost like I have, you dont do it that way
if you value your rear defrost system, unless you prefer to retrace lines on 
your rear trunk windows yourself.

there is a product that is sprayed unto the film and it penetrates it and 
works the glue pretty much free, the film comes out easy as a well cooked 
chicken skin, teh rest you wipe it off (no razor blade, no steel wool..) buy 
re-applying a second time the product on the glue on the window.

the product I dont recall the name, can be found at ANY window tinting shop 
(not wallmart) the real stuff cost ~ 7$/bottle but works ..

my 2 cents worth
