Just had the most insane worst 3 hours on my car so far removing the tint from the rear hatch glass:no: and when it comes off it stinks of dog sh1t too:confused1:...who,s ever done it and what method did you use?

Gave up and just pulled it off and lost all my heater bars lol. I got most of it off then used ace tone to gt the rest off.

 

I found you never need the rear demisters when the window is re tinted

Its a pita mate I scraped it of side windows on an Audi the tint came of but there was still glue stuck to the windows I used paint thinners to help dissolve the glue and scraped it of. You have the added issue of the heated window strips.

I did my two fronts I feel your pain.

Lost my heated window deffo as i had to use those small blade scrapers then i used cello thinners to remove the glue. Not good being 20 stone and 6ft 3" sitting in the boot:headvswal:headvswal

LOL - but I bet you kept sniffing it though Bri..... Just to confirm it smelt horrid!!!

 

I've not had to do it myself though mate. And don't worry if you can't get the heated rear window working again; just treat the glass with a good anti-mist solution (like the new Bluecol stuff - it actually DOES work) and be done with it....

 

Richard:cool3:

I used a wallpaper stripper and a scraper probally a stanley blade, it's all hard work though.

A steamer usually works well, but here is a link from the experts lol http://www.tintcenter.com/articles/bt_removal.html

Best to use a hot air gun to soften the glue, or a hair dryer.

Once hot, get a corner bit up and keep heating as you pull it.

Problem is, the slower you peel it, the more glue it leaves on the glass.

A lot easier and quicker with two people, one to heat and one to peel.

I always use graffiti remover. Just tear off what you can and use graffiti remover and a blade to get the rest.

Glue comes off really easy that way.

yep really easy , two things , a warm day , and a hot air gun, simply heat and peel , i did this and everything came off , no residue , and my rear heater bars remained intact

Have you removed the 300zx decal? I liked that.

I started, have some kind of clear tint on mine, its defo after market as they have used 3 strips to cover the screen, you are correct it stinks like shite, and yes Richard is correct too, you cant help but smell it more while trying to work out what flavour of dog food was used.

Ok Bri, let me know when you get a quote, I'll probably just go for the back window cus the rear passengers have a mesh finish on them, don't know if that can be removed.
