What's the best way to strip window tint and glue off windows?

Its definitely not factory. Most of it has already started peeling off on its own

clothing steamer or heat gun , just make sure not to concentrate heat in one spot or you will need new glass

Do you have to worry about scratching the window?

Just make sure you keep the blade at a angle, the razor blade in a scrapper is the best way. I removed mine in 20 minutes

Ok. Well most of it is already peeled or is in the process. I just heard that removing the glue is a pain
