Dont know who put the sodding tint on the rear windows but its not a very good job - hardly any tint and just 3 or 4 bands of thin film

 

Took it to 3 windows tinters who have all had a go at removing and they've all said the same - need car for a day!!! Price goes through the roof.

 

I dont know if tint was done in Japan, but its a complete bugger to get off.

I spent about 25 mins picking off an inch worth.

 

Anyone any better ideas - tried steaming with one of them guns, isopropyl alcohol, and white spirit.

is it down to a scraper blade, and very carefully cut around the demists?

 

Cheers

I did one on Saturday. Faced the car into the sun with the boot open. After an hour when it'd got hot (co the sun) the black tint peeled off quite easily - leaving the glue, which took longer than the tint film to remove using white spirit...

 

Good luck

Heat gun or hair dryer get it nice and warm and peel it back at a 45 degree angle pulling gently, Don't pull at it to hard as you can damage the heater elements. :)

aha :)

I have an old heatgun in the shed.

Im presuming I dont wanna get too close to the window/rubbers with it though - if it strips paint from door I can only guess at what it would do to my window

 

Cheers mate

:) Yeah be very carefull, Personally i would avoid it and use a hairdryer !! :)

lol, dont worry - I wont blame you when my rear screen shatters - much ;)

May try the hairdryer first.
