Lots and lots of ammonia (don't let the tint ever go dry), razorblades, and patience.

Also, doing the job under the sun on a hot day helps loosens the tint.

Goo gone works pretty well, but it's a lot of work to make sure you're putting enough on the glass to get the tint off but not so much it's dripping on stuff.

If you don't know what you're doing, pay a tint shop to remove the tint in your rear window. Last thing you want to do is slip the razorblade and "sever" or scrape off one of your defroster lines. The only way to undo that is to buy a whole new hatch window and remove and replace it. It will be a pain in the *** and is very expensive.
