My hatch has it on there and it's bubbling and hard to see out of it in the rear view. Is there an easy way to get that junk off? I can peel some off by hand but now I am at the point thats not working well. I have an event in 2 weeks and would like to have it off. Thanks for the help

When I worked at a tint shop (when dinosaurs still roamed the earth) we would soak the inside of the offending window in an ammonia-based glass cleaner, apply saran wrap (or discarded tint backing) over the soaked old film, and let it sit in the sun for awhile. On overcast days I would turn on the rear defroster if I was trying to get the film off of a back window. The ammonia based cleaner helps soften the glue, as does the heat. If you're lucky, you can peel up a corner, pull down a bit, and spray the ammonia based cleaner between the film and the glass as you pull, and it'll come off in one piece. More realistically, you're going to pull off little 1" strips of film for two or three hours until it's clean.
