any one know how to remove the glue left from tint. i am worried about messing up the copper lines on the rear window. i cleand the other window with windex and a razor blade.

 

yeah look at a corner and try to peel it off. thats how we did my brothers integra.

 

spray it down with ammonia, then place a trash bag on it and let it bake in the sun. after about 2 hours remove the trash bag and scrub the window down with a soft sos pad

Yes ammonia destroys tint, it eats the film and it will cause it to turn purple/fade. It is great for removing film because it does just that... For rear windows that have the defroster, use a soft sos pad and it will remove all of the adhesive from the window without destroying the defrost. It takes time, it isn't as simple as on the side windows with just some ammonia and a razor blade after peeling it off.

yeah thats what i meant. just rip it off. its not going to expletive except for residue but clean it with windex and you're done.

i used ammonia and steel wool. no trash bag. go light and ull be fine. all my defroster lines are still working.

 

bottle of ammonia + rag = gets all the fckin glue out. i know cause i didthat to mine, but ended up having no goggles or mask, so it was fckin death.. and my rear trunk was CF so i had no trunk dampers / shocks so i was suffocating in the hatch cause it dsnt hold up..

this is THE ONLY way to remove tint IMHO.

i had a bandana tied around my face. helped alittle with the smell. but yea. amonia, and a garbage bag. let it sit in the sun. peels right off.

 

try the method with the trash bag, we use it all the time at my shop and it works great

 

local auto parts store sells tint removal liquid... works great, as far as i know its probably just all ammonia.... but it makes me feel secure

 

wow. that stuff is killer. i probably cryed like 10 times, its working though

Yeah for five bux it comes with the removal liquid and a scraper/blade.

 

be careful with the those defroster lines. you dont want to take them off.
