Help with window tint
 
Hello,

I'm close to smashing the rear windshield.

I've taken the tint off but I cannot get the glue off...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Struggle with either metho or carby cleaner. Took me hours


I like your honesty with the close to smashing the windshield haha

What have you tried? The one car I've de-tinted came up spotless with soapy water and a razor blade but it might have been fresh

steam
 
I've been using a steamer the whole time but the thing came off in a million pieces.

Wax & grease remover, no go.

I would scrape it but the demister heater wires would get damaged if they aren't already.

Ill try warm soapy water.

Apparently if you rub it down with ammonia and let it 'bake' it comes right off.

Bit late for that.

Heat gun might work.

Something along the lines of de-solv-it or orange oil may be also be of help.

goo remover can buy it from bunnings... or maybe call up TKO tint i know they have some tint glue remover. might be able to get some in a spray botlle for a small fee?

Tried kerosene, or fuel? Obviously don't go smoking a fag with any of those at the same time ;)

Use windex and some elbow grease to remove left over glue/residue. No other easier way besides using steamer or heat gun when removing tint. Be careful not to strip your demisters

I hate glue. Its official!

I can imagine that's how the guys at ferrari felt when they glued the F40 together. And this-a goes here-a...va fanculo... its-a stuck-a...

Bunnings isn't open on Christmas day...how about that?
