Default Re: removing tint (no-tec)

usually auto parts stores will carry kits for removing tint.

i bought one to remove mine. i think it was $8 and you get some sort of solvant in a spray bottle and a razor with a plaztic handle. it was a little expensive but it did an alright job.

if you take your time, you can probably peel the tint off and not leave any glue behind.... if you just try to rip it off real fast, you'll have glue all over your window.

i learned the hard way on my first two windows.

Use some windex (w/amonia!) and spray it on the glue after you have peeled the tint off. Put a plastic bag over the glue after you sprayed it down with the windex, let it soak for like 5 minutes then peel the bag back and use the razor on the glue it comes off like butta! Oh be careful on the back window thogh use some fine steel wool on that.

you can get a tint remover from your local tap plastic or any plastic places. you will get a formula and use a plastic bag. basically squirt the solution onto your window and put a plastic bag to it, it will dry onto it and then peel it off. it comes off easy if the tint has been on there less then a few years. but if its been several years then that you might encounter a bit of toughness.

Razor aggressivly.....I just did it and I used a razor I got from Autozone for removing stickers and tint. The blades were bending while I was removing the glue.
Be sure to scrape once then remove the glue from the blade.
I don't know about your tint, but I only had to get a hold of a little bit then I could peel it off.....I just had to scrape the glue.
