My tint guy left it in place. His squeegee spatula thingamajig just pushed the tint into place. The rear window brake light has some play in it and doesn't tightly butt right up to the glass.

that's the third brake light. normally i'd ask you to search before posting, but if that's what you searched you probably wouldn't have found anything lol.

my tint guy left it on as well and it also came out fine.

My tint guy took it off by taking apart the rear deck parts.

Mine was done without removing the break light. He said it was tough but he got it.

You can remove the top cover the rear brake lights to give you a little more room.
