Tint Removal on F90 M5 Comp

Greetings all - first post on the forum,

Didn't see recent questions about this so I wanted to throw it out there:

I need to remove tint from passenger windows and rear windshield. As I understand it, the read windshield removal process is delicate.

Does anyone know the risks to that removal? Messes up the radio or the heating elements?

Also, any suggestions for good places to do that work in the greater Boston area?

Thank you!

Does it screw up the radio or heating elements or both?

Literally no one is willing to remove it.

I assume worst case is id need to replace the entire windshield unfortunately- right?

Is it factory tiny? Or did someone add tint film?

Previous owner tinted it. May have been legal in another state but not in mine.

Best way to remove any tint on a vehicle is to utilize a steam wand. Keep it a few inches away and let it sit for 5-10 seconds. Tint will come right off with glue. Way less cleanup as well.
