Whats the best way to remove window tint?

[ERIC87442]

so, my cutlass has the rear quarter windows tinted on it and thats it. i want to know how can i remove it nicely? it looks as if it is glued on, the previous owner removed the tint from the rear window because it was bubbling and there is a bit of goo left over from it, i dont want that. so, how should i go about this?

grab a corner of it and pull it off...then use goo be gone to remove any adhesive

Yep. The film is removed pretty easily. The glue just takes a bit more work but an ahesive remover should work.

thanks! i was thinking something along that line, i didnt know if there was a special trick to it or something and i didnt want to screw something up and make my windows look like crap, i will get me some goo gone and give it a try! ill try the goo gone on whats left on the rear window too.

The only tricky part with window tint is removing it from the rear window if it has the defroster lines. Just be careful cleaning it so you don't screw them up.

I removed the old tint from my 79 GP with a razor blade. It was so old it was purple! I then cleaned the windows with WD-40 to remove the adhesive and then with some Windex to clean the smears. BUT my 79 didn't have a rear defroster though which made it so much easier. 8) I have heard of "sweating" it off but have never seen it done before!

At the dealer we used heat guns to get it off the rear window defogger grids, than a clean cotton towel with lacquer thinner to get any left over adhesive,Than just clean the glass with glass cleaner. ( they had all the tint removed from all the trade in cars.)

It's actually pretty easy. Do what the pro's do. Peel it off like everybody else says. But to get the glue off use a solution of dish soap and water. Then scrape it off with a razor blade. It comes off pretty easy. But your arms and hands get tired. Then clean the glass off with glass cleaner. I've done it a lot. It works.

Take it to a tint shop to get it re tinted. Then they have to worry about it lol.
