Default Removing Window Tint?

Hey guys, just picked up an Integra as a daily driver and it has a bad tint job on the rear window. Does anyone know how to safely remove the tint without damaging the rear window defroster lines? Thanks

Some good news:
If you bought a 2 door, at least its a lift back, and much easier to access the rear windshield.
If you scrape the defroster line and peel a little bit off, it wont make it non-functional

someone suggested an over night method:
spray the surface w/ windex and cover it with a plastic bag or something.

let me know if it works
