I recently just bought a 92 civic dx hatch with some purple-ish tint on it and I want it off. I was thinking of just taking it off with a razor blade but I heard that if I do it to the back window it'll mess up the rear-defrost. Is there any way I can avoid this problem? Thanks!

 

Razor blade all the windows but the rear. Use water and alcohol or adhesive remover to get the glue off. As for the back. I've heard if you spray it with water then tape up a trash bag on a really hot day and it will melt the glue

 

^what he said. Ive never tried water but I have tried windex and a trash bag and works unbelievably well. The hotter the day the better. Make sure you use plenty of windex and then throw a black trash bag over it(cut the bag to make it cover the whole glass). Get as much of the air pockets out as you can, a long sleeve shirt makes this easier. tape of the ends and let it sit for about and hour maybe 2 on a not so hot day. Pull off the tape and trash bag and wallah! The film should peal rite off. Mite have to use the razor to get some of the tint left on the edges.

 

I used a steamer on both my cars, its was one of those that you use for clothes and it heats the glue up til its liquid and up just pull it right off

 

Sounds like a good prank!

Go to walmart and buy a $20 steamer it works like a charm, tint comes right off with the glue. The longest part is waiting for the steamer to heat up Then you can steam clean the seats and carpet as well! But really its the best way to do it, ive done it a lot

 

Also, make sure to go back over your windows and make sure you didn't leave any on there.

Haha It does sound like a prank but if you don't want to go get steamer like they^ said this way also works very well.

 

Using straight Ammonia works better. It's the ammonia in windex that removes ot
