Window tint removal

[FlaAveo5]

Can or has anyone removed window tint on their Aveo? Mine is now almost 6 years old, and is faded, in my eyes. It isnt that ugly purple, it is just faded from years in the hot Fla. sun. I want to get new, but now every tint company wants from $50-99 to just remove old tint, and the new tint is $125-150. I have never had a charge for tint removal, guess every company finds a way to pull in more money. My tint is in perfect condition, not all bubbles and rips or scratches, the price for new tint is fine, but removal is now charged..and that a lot of money! Is that the same all over the country, or is it just here in south Fla.? Will it just pull off in one sheet and then I just have to clean up some residue, or am I in for a major mess, and I should pay the price and let some company do it? All the cars and trucks I have had tinted, well over 25 in my life, and now they charge for removal! The price of tint has barely changed, but man, now some want nearly as much to remove the old tint. THAT is new. So...anyone have practical experience in removing it themselves? Was it a horror, or easy as removing cling wrap off a bowl? I know the hatch with the window defogger on it would/will be very dicey, maybe leave that to them, but I would think I could remove the rest, and then get new DARK tint again. I cant really afford it for another month or two, but IF I can remove the current tint, it would save a BIG chunk of cash. Any stories or hints would be great. Thanks
