Answer 2

My guess is that someone got you for too dark a tint. Anyway, Angie has it about right. Use a new single edged razor blade to scrape the old tint off. When you get as much as you can, then use the window cleaner to remove any traces of glue still stuck on the window.

One point to note. You didn't mention which window, but if it is the rear window and you have the rear window defrosters, be very careful about not cutting the heater wires that are across the glass. They are very sensitive and prone to damage. When you laid down the tint, I hope that you didn't cover the wires, but if you did, when you pull it off go very slow and take your time. good luck.

Answer 3

I'm assuming this is a car. You didn't say whether a back window or side glass

Two ways for a back glass. Neither pleasant. Spray with ammonia, lat soak thoroughly, and dry with a hair dryer, them peel. Once the film is peeled, you will need to scrub the adhesive off with ammonia and fine 0000 steel wool. Mop up scrubbed areas with paper towels before they dry. Finish up with window cleaner and paper towels. Second way (less ammonia to breathe), cut a garbage bag the size of the back glass. Spray tint with ammonia. Cover completely with garbage bag. Park in sun on a hot day. Will peel after about an hour. Once the film is peeled, you will still need to scrub the adhesive off with ammonia and fine 0000 steel wool. Mop up scrubbed areas with paper towels before they dry. Both methods will require a razor blade to lift and pick the corner you wish to start.

For side windows - Removing tint from side windows Soaking is not necessary here. You may want to use a simple razor blade holder. Cut a notch onto the upper area of the film so that you have a piece to pull. Try to peel the film, it will probably come off in two or three pieces. Spray the remaining adhesive with soapy water, and scrape the adhesive off with a razor blade, avoiding the edges of the glass to keep the blade sharp. You may need to use a few blades as they dull quickly.

You can remove your film using a 'hot air' gun. Get a safety razor blade and lift the edge of the film.Play the hot air gun over the film avoiding plastic trims etc.Try not to melt the film,once you 'catch' an edge gently pull the film off. if you do this carefully it avoids leaving the adhesive on the glass and it wont damage heating elements on your back glass.Wear gloves cos' it gets pretty damn hot! Clean any remaining glue off with glass cleaner and the razor. Avoiding heating elements etc. Good luck!!

Answer 5

confident .. windex or a answer of dish cleansing soap and water could be sprayed on the window the glue will turn white and gummy..you could them take a window scraper or sing part razor blade and sparkling the glass.. in basic terms be care finished to no longer scratch the class.. . in case you start up off pulling the tint on the part and slow pull and spraying the returned area of the tint that's going to shrink the quantity of glue that maintains to be on the glass.
