Question Remove Window Tint (in frame)

We want to remove the window tint from our rear door window and the wheelchair door window. Needing a little more light seeing as we've blocked out many of the other windows.

There's so much on here about adding tints and I've seen people removing it on their regular roll-up car windows but on bus ones like this that have gaskets all around them... Has anyone does this? and can you shoot me some pointers Or does anyone have an idea on how it might be done?

Acetone, razor & heat gun will help remove the film, if you have removable film. Many buses are factory tinted glass.

Orange plastic blades & Acetone work terrifically at removing the glue from glass, without cutting the rubber or the fingers.

This part was my fear... I don't think it was added by the school. Is there any way you know to determine if it's a part of the glass or a film on top of it?

Find an obscure spot on the window and make a little slice with a real razor and pick gently at the edge of the slice. If the tint is window film it will begin to lift off. If it is dark glass gentle picking will have no effect.
