long story short, DPS popped me just south of chandler on I-10 for tint. over 3 years and not a problem till today. just a fix it ticket but i have 5 days to remove it. i picked up a bottle of gila tint remover. i found other options on youtube, like a steamer and goo gone with heat gun with razor. anyone have any real life experience and what works and what you would do again? thanks for the imput

Removing the old tint is easy if you let it get warm. Just let it sit outside in the sun for a couple hrs to get warmed up. Use a straight edge razor to get a corner started. If the tint is warm enough it'll come off in one piece. Just take your time and peel it off slow. I used a hair dryer to heat it up as I peeled it off.

After the tint is off, there will be a residue left over you can scrape off with the razor blade and some windex to loosen it up. Just make sure you keep the razor blade flat to avoid scratching the glass. It's easier than it sounds and less than an hour project.

Good Luck!

thanks for the heads up. legally i have to remove just the doors, i can leave the tint on the rears for now, goofy as it may look. and btw, no idea how this got posted under 2010-2011 section.

Your car looks great. Pay the ticket, keep the tint.

at autozone for like 10 bucks u can get a tint remover kit, it has some solution you spray on and let it soak for like 30 mins and it just peels right off man check it out. that car looks awesome BTW, and u could just remove the front tint, do u have to let them see the car? or is it just a "5 day warning" because whats the odds the same cop gets you again??

no strangly enough, arizona law states the owner and operator can remove the tint and sign off and mail the citation back, no verification needed. since its warm out now i can ride with windows down whenever i see popo, but most dont care anyway. even border patrol dont seem to care. meh, i had the lights and everything painted to match the black tint, guess if in the end the tint has to come off, then im switching to clear corners and oem tails. albeit i do like the blackout look
