Answer 3

A razor blade scraper and a source of heat be it the sun or a hair dryer. Peel the film off at a 45 degree angle to help resisting tearing. If you have glue residue left you will need residue remover (any hardware store) or denatured alcohol. I usually soak the window without spilling (or tape off first) and then use the scraper again. Once you start getting the hang of it the job goes quickly.

Answer 4

I had dark tint on my front windows. When I went for inspection it failed due to the dark tint. So I had to peel it off. I had a lot of the tint adhesive left on my window so I went to Walmart and bought Tint-Off in the automotive department. Also, buy some straight razor blades to scrape window after you have sprayed on the Tint-Off. This will make it come off easy. I didn't think it would work but it did!! Please sure to use paper towels to wipe blade.

Answer 5

When I removed the tint from my Volkswagen I bought this spray product from Wal-Mart. It was blue and sold in the automotive section. It dissolves the adhesive and allows the tint to be scraped off quite easily. Just be sure to use it in a well ventilated area.

Answer 6

Ardex. It's a solvent used to dissolve pretty much any glue-like substance. Should be available at your local hardware store. And it wont effect anything else in your car. except maybe wax. It tends to eat away at that. But only a very little bit.
Try it. It works.

Be careful with the ammonia, very strong smell.
Steel wool, nah i dont think so!

You may also need a hair dryer to heat up the film if you live in a cold climate (winter) etc...
Be careful with the hair dryer near any plastic interior/exterior parts of the car since they could melt etc...
Take some time to review your method of attack and play it safe.

Give it a try.
