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. Stefan |

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. How to Remove Tint Glue From Glass: 12 Steps - wikiHow 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.

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
