with a reazor blade

What color is this tint?
Is it purple? Does it have bubbles in it?
If it is more than 10 years and purple = a lot of time.
Just purple and newer than 10 = less time involved, use a single sided razor blade and start at the edges.
Well if it is new and is good quality (non purple tint) still black or smoke like, same procedure but a lot of time and frustration, good quality tint = good quality glue...

did you manage to clean up the glue it leaves behind?

**pearsonmx6** · 10-14-07, 21:39

yeah just use brake parts cleaner

i had remove tint on an audi at work one day and no matter what I used, the glue just didnt come off. just goes to show that all tints are definetley not the same

**pearsonmx6** · 10-14-07, 22:18

like he said brake/carb cleaner works great if you havent tried it yet. i think ive seen some use regular laquer thinner too.

i just got done doin this !! i used a flat razor and a spray bottle of half water and half amonia w/ mask and fan blowing threwthe car worked out pretty well

**pearsonmx6** · 10-14-07, 22:35

i just did this to a door window but what do you guys do when it is on the back window with the heating elements so not to ruin them

hey bud,
Use a blowdryer. Works great, fast and 90% of glue come off with it. did that on my purple original mazda tint.

Just curious, will these methods work to get off the annoying 'Made in Michigan' sticker I still have in the corner of my windshield?

**pearsonmx6** · 10-15-07, 7:53

you can try it

i did try to apply heat and it did nothing

Ive always wondered about the rear also, you will scratch off the defroster if you go taking a razor blade to it.
