Removing window tint.....

[Shawty]

My rear window has some horribly what i suspect is home job window tint on it and its bubbled and makes it blurry to look out the back window....
Im wondering if anyone knows a way to get this off?
i imagine its pretty expensive to buy a new rear windscreen...
Do you think they will make me remove it for a roadworthy cert??
Thanks

they only charge about $50 dollars to take of a full tint in a car , so rear window shouldnt cost that much , although i know they use a heat gun

[Shawty]

Who is they ? what sort of company should i be looking for lol

[jdm_kid]

any tinting company can take off the tint for u. look or ask for solar tint

[Shawty]

Ah yeah good idea actually.. if they wont charge to much it would be easier than tryin to do it myself lol
thanks :)

I saw an article, and they 'sweated' it off. They used a towel that covered the window and
used hot water.
You could try pulling it off, then you got to use scotchbright pad and get the rest of the glue off.

If you are going to get it re-tinted, just leave it to the tinters.

wouldnt recommend solar tint,
expensive/standard

from WATCHING someone do it to my car, steam gun and a blade.
steam gun to make it soft and more flexable.
and blade, like box cutter blade to slit it and u can pull it off

be careful of the heat thingys on back windscreen though

yeah heat it and peel. easy man. then acetone for the glue.

dude use a steamer. that will get the tint off very fast without too much hassles.

the rear demister things on the back windscreen are interior tho right? what would damage them? (im not going crazy when i assume the tint is exterior yea? lol) sorry if i sound stupid lol :)

[kcokla]

what would damage them

= cutting them with a blade

[Shawty]

Yeah but arent they on the inside of the window and the tint on the outside?

[EG3B16]

Tints are on the inside of the car.

the professionals use a steam gun to soften and remove the tint, then wipe the glue off with ammonia.
