hey guys how do I remove the third brake, I'm trying to have my whole rear window tinted without having to go around the brake light. The tint shop refuses to remove the light because they say it won't attach the same away and I'd risk breaking it as well.

Thanks fellas

Tinting under the 3rd light will reduce light output by the level of gradient (eg 30%). IMHO tint around it.

A tint shop that does not know how to remove the third brake light is, well, close to incompetent. Find another tint shop. Otherwise, I would recommend that you tint around that light. Looks just fine and does not dim your brake light.
