[Vwdiesel] de-tint

On the old '85 Jetta, visibility is a serious issue.  A long, long time 
ago, it was tinted.  Double tinted.  Particularly on the rear window, 
it's bubbled up and I can't see a thing through it.  I need to figure 
out how to remove it, but I'd like to not destroy the defroster wires 
which still mostly work.  Any thoughts?  I know scraping is out, but I'm 
not sure about just pulling, or maybe solvents.  Any good bets on 
solvents?  Not sure what would dissolve the adhesive but not my 
interior.  (Either mine or the car's)

One of the many many maintenance issues that just don't come up on a 3 
year old Toyota.  However, at least crashing it into a tree because of a 
boredom-induced coma is something I have over the Camry.
