Default Special process to remove tint from a window with defroster lines?

Hello all. Is there a different process to remove tints from a rear window with defroster lines? Can I just peel off the tint and remove the remaining glue with adhesive remover? Or should I leave this work for the pros?

If it's a quality tint film, it shouldn't leave any residue. That's how you can tell between cheap and quality tint. Quality tint will peel off cleanly in ONE piece.

From the looks of it, it doesn't look like quality film. Don't want to peel off at the risk of taking the defroster lines with it.
