Default Removing Tint...

I have an 03 mustang and the tint i have is startin to look a little ruff...i took it to a place to have everything looked at the other day and the guy told me that it would cost 70$ to have the tint removed. Is there any way i can remove the tint easily and save myself the 70$, i dont have anything better to do this week anyways lol

Heat the tint up with a hair dryer, prefferable a heat gun and peel it off slowly. Excess glue can be sprayed with Label/sticker remover, let sit for a minute and then scrape with a razorblade. Very easy. As for the back window, use everything but the razorblade, unless you don't have defrosters.

Hey usf...
I watched a tint company "pull" the tint off of my car so they could reinstall new tint. They simply sprayed a liberal amount of plain ole Windex to all of the windows and let sit in the hot FL summer sun. A few "extra" coats were applied in some areas, but for the most part, the tint just fell right off! After watching that, I realized that I just wasted about $75!
Good luck,
Troy
