| Had it done and it is the most fucked up mess I have ever seen. How hard is it to remove this shit? |

Normally I heat the glass with a heat gun, but a hair dryer may suffice. Once the tint itself is gone, I then spray windex on the residue that remains and scrape with a razor blade scaper. If working on the rear glass with the rear defrost lines on the glass, that takes a bit more effort. You can't scrape back there unless you want to risk screwing up the rear defrost. |

Its really not that hard, but it is a mess. Get some basic Windex, a roll of paper towels and about a dozen razor blades. Gently bend the razor blade until its curved, if you bend too hard, it will snap. This keeps the corners from scratching the glass and lets you focus your efforts better. Spray on the Windex and let it sit, don't ever wipe it off during the process. After its soaked in window cleaner for about three minutes, soak it down again and scrape it off wet. When you get near the edges, soak the hell out of it, peel up an edge of the film and try to pull it out from under the weatherstripping. When all the film is gone, all you'll have left is glue. Use a fresh razor blade for that, again with lots of windex, and don't bend the blade you use for this. |
