Removing Window Tint...

[AsH_]

i have a EG i am considering removing all the tint off the windows...

is it as easy as peeling it off ???

or do i have to use special chemicals, etc to peel the tint off ???

also i read in another thread that you can damage the demister... how am i supposed to peel it off without damaging it???

i would very appreciate your feedbak...

use a steamer . . . and make sure you put a lot of towel coz its gonna be very wet

ah shit... where i get a steamer from???

or for more convenience since it sounds like a big hassle, how much would it cost to remove it??? roughly...

Watch the back window. Dont kill the rear demister. Best paying someone else to do it, like $50

mate just use a paint scraper then the left over glue wipe it down with a rag soaked on one side or the whole thing with wax and grease remover, wait for the glue to soak it up then scrape it again it will come off in blobs should come off in blobs just use a drop sheet, i think u may have to takew the trim off to do it to the passenger windows because they take the tint down below the window line... watch the paint scraper on the rear window i think the demister it like stuck on the window not mouled into....


in sign writing after u peel vinyl off things like glass, sheet metal, acrylic smooth surfaces it leaves glue we use thinners or wax and grease remover to take it off... i dunno what tint does though


wax and grease remover is now sold at supercheap
paint scraper might be there too or bunnings metal handle with a wide blade across the end usually set on a small angle its about 300mm long blade is about 100mm wide

oh yea heat guns work a charm too just heat it peel up a corner and it should come straight off no left over glue dont heat one spot for too long might crack the glass, never tried a steamer might have too

heat gun will also work, if you don't have one a hairdryer at high temp will do it also.
