Are you planning to use paint? Most tints I know of can be removed.

Anyway, ya, like xviper said, most tint can be removed (relatively easily).

Nope just normal tint. I know there is issues though with removing tint on rear windows with the defroster and what not. I wouldn't plan on having the tint removed before I sold the hard top, so wondering if this would be looked at as a downside to a prospective customer.
I suppose I should just go for it anyway since I don't plan on getting rid of the top of the hardtop for quite a few years.

I think it is 50/50 some will like the tint others will not. I don't think tint would make a buyer walk away from a sell. The tint is easy to remove, especially because the top is removable.

it can be removed without damaging the rear defroster lines, ultra fine steelwool is what most shop use.

make sure you are using quality brand/line of tint
