My hatch has it on there and it's bubbling and hard to see out of it in the rear view. Is there an easy way to get that junk off? I can peel some off by hand but now I am at the point thats not working well. I have an event in 2 weeks and would like to have it off. Thanks for the help

Thinking back to my detailing days... (wow, that was a long time ago)
I believe we applied a soap/water mix, letting it soak into the tint to help soften the glue, then used a heat gun (fairly low setting) and peeled it off, continuing to keep the tint moist. If possible, peel off in large sections, and apply soapy mix between tint and window as you peel it off. Make the soap/water mix with warm water and enough detergent so that it doesn't drip too much, since you want it to be able to soak in. you'll probably want to apply a few times before you break out the heat gun. Ammonia or an ammonia based cleaner will work, too. A razor blade will be helpful, but make sure to keep it very clean/sharp, and if you care about having a defroster, stay away from the lines (kind of obvious, I guess). If you must scrape near the defroster lines, gently/cautiously scrape towards them at a 90* angle. I did a quick search, and it appears that I'm not too far off... http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Window-Tint Hope this helps. Good Luck! |
