window tint film removal

I was able to take it off my side windows with a razor blade scrapper. My truck has a rear window with a slider window and it as well as each side is some kind of plastic. I'm afraid I'll scratch it with a razor scrapper. Does anyone have a suggestions on what I can do to get the film off?

Thanks,
Bill

Sometimes if you can grab a corner use some heat[heat gun or hairdryer] and heat the film up it seemed to make it release when I have tried it on windshields before

Carefully pull up a corner enough the able to pull on the tint. Then spray warm soapy water in between the film and the glass. This should soften the adhesive so you can peel it without scraping.

Any window cleaner with ammonia in it will help loosen the glue
