When I seen your car at the shop chris I noticed the tint. The condition that its in makes it difficult to remove. The layers seperated and you will only get the one layer off. If it was intact theres a way to use ammonia on a hot sunny day to peel it without hurting the defrost grid.

I would talk to a tint shop and see what they say, but a new untinted hatch may be easier. I ran into the same problem when i had my 86, and my 01 is starting to seperate in places.

Oh and also, if you do say f it and scrape it, the contour of the glass makes for a long day of scraping.
