Removing old window tint?
I would have posted this in the appearance section, but getting a response from that forum can sometimes take quite a while, so moderators, please don't redirect me, in case someone can help.....
Does anyone have tips or methods of removing old/baked on purple window tint.
Thanks
Steve

peel a corner with a razor.... yank the tint off, SLOWLY it should come off all once piece... Make a solution of a lil vinegar with some dawn.. use a spray bottle... that outta eat the glue.. clean windown with razor...... this only works for side windows... I dont know how to clean/remove tint off the back window....

I heard a tip from a pro once to peel a cornor back and then take a bike pump (or sportball pump) with one of the needles (for filling footballs and whatnot) and getting soap on it so you can side it under the tint an slowly pump air under it it create a bubble. I would imagin this is hard to do, but that is what I heard from a shop....

Soaking it with any window cleaner that has ammonia in it should eventually loosen it up. (that's why they say not to use cleaner with ammonia in it to clean your tinted windows)
