I have a free gift Cert to a local tint shop and I want to do my front 2 windows to make them dark and match the rest. Anyone have any tricks on removing the tint form the side front windows?

 

soap water is a spay potil. remove the edg and spary. it wil tak time thou depinds on how old is the tint and the quality if it. you will need a scaper too, and be carfull not to scrach the glas.

 

Once you get the edge of the tint up it should pull off in a piece. the only issue will be the glue residue that is left behind. I have removed tint before and have had to go after the glue with a razor blade. It would not come off not matter what I sprayed on it. If any one has a fast way to remove residue please chime in.

 

I dont think you should have a problem scratching the glass like he said... unless your scraper is made outta diamonds, which i highly doubt because thats just plain out expensive

 

My buddy said he used a razor and WD

 

I like using a clothing steamer. I picked one up at walmart for $30 the other day.

Have a window cleaner with ammonia handy and start with the steamer at an edge. When the heat and steam make the edge give out start soaking with ammonia cleaner. Steam, spray, and pull. The film will be off in no time with little residue behind.

This trick works great on film covering defroster lines.

 

Oh yeah, get the whole piece of film nice and warm with the steam before you put effort into it. Getting the glue hot is half the battle.

 

razor blade and 3M glass cleaner worked for me.

 

heres the most impotant thing. PATIENCE.....

 

had to remove tint on an old focus of mine - was a bit to dark - when your 17 you don't care too much - hell darker the better - had to remove that tint a few years back and i used soapy water, glass cleaner, razor blade, and a good ol'e american elbow grease wtha dash of patience -
