How do you remove window tint ???

If your going to get it retinted your best to let them remove the old tint.
They can do it very easy, it's only rear windows with demisters take extra time.

Thanks Paul,
I`ts just the two front/side windows so I reckon I`ll have a go.

That dosent sound to messy to me.
may be doing the rear window is with a demister

Removing tint from side windows

Soaking is not nessesary here. You may want to use a simple razorblade holder. Cut a notch onto the upper area of the film so that you have a piece to pull. Try to peel the film, it will probably come off in two or three pieces. Spray the remaining adhesive with soapy water, and scrape the adhesive off with a razor blade, avoiding the edges of the glass until last to keep the blade sharp. You may need to use a few blades as they dull quickly. Finish up with window cleaner and paper towels. Inspect for missed glue (its clear and hard to see)

Thanks JR, I`ve got a couple of methods to try now.

It may be best to do the job while the material is warm. It is far more flexible then, and will peel off in bigger pieces. If you wait til its cool, it will be more 'brittle'.

Thanks Michael,

Gee the response has been great, I`ve got that many methods to try I`m going to run out of windows. LOL

Great site with great people,

Thanks Again.

Another vote for this method.

Hair dryer softens the tint plus the glue. If you just rip it off you still have the glue to contend with which is 'orrible. working slowly with a hair dryer takes it all off in one go.
