Just peal it off from the inside of the glass and clean with window cleaner afterwards.  It's easy, I did it on two of my cars.  Can't even tell it was there.

I have tried two techniques, can't say one is better than the other.
Scrape with razor blade cold and get smallish bits.

Heat with hairdryer and have big chunks come off with glue left behind that I attacked with lacquer thinner. Would not want to try that on-car tho.

BFH and then buy new windows.  Might just be cheaper to take it to a professional to have it removed though.  It is a terrible job and I don't (won't) ever do it again myself.
 
Good luck,

Checked Youtube and there was a professional window tinter showing how to remove tint with a heat gun and a razor blade. Tried it myself yesterday and it worked great. Took me about 10 minutes per window.
