Extra tip: Heat it from the other side of the glass ;) You won't have to worry about burning yourself and you can heat a much larger area, allowing you to pull it faster. Plus, no risk to over-heating or accidentally hitting your door panels.
@@mobileautorepairs2169 You will be perfectly fine using any heat gun. I have a harbor freight one I use as well from time to time or while out on jobs. I would say keep the tip of the heat gun about 6 inches away and keep t moving in a small area. Operate it at high/max or move the tip a little closer and operate on low (about 3 inches away). You'll just want to get the glass pretty warm and as you start to pick the corner, you'll be able to SLOWLY pull the film back, while slowly progressing the area of the glass you are warming from the other side.
@@mobileautorepairs2169 With tint that has been on there that long, it may come off in pieces - be prepared for that. IF that is the case, it become a mess because you'll want to use something like Xenit (purchased at Home Depot or Amazon), spray the remaining tint/residue, and take a metal razor blade to the window. Just keep the blade angled greatly (like a razor does when shaving your skin). Again, just be advised that it can get messy removing super-faded/expired film.
Thank you so much like the other guys were saying it was a real game changer night and day difference passenger side was a PIA driver side was a breeze
I wish I had known this before I paid $100 to get my old tint removed so I could go darker. Thanks for all the tips bro! My Charger get compliments every day because I followed your advise along the way.
@@louiexiii91 Tryst me…. It’s not a little. I had my Charger a year and hadn’t done any mods. Then I found your channel. That baby is fire now, if I may say so. Thanks Louie!
@@belgalvan5113 some people have made videos with ammonia water and one of those plastic dish scrubbers...NOT STEEL WOOL... I havent tried yet, but there were other videos on youtube for the back window
Guys real quick. I’m a great window tint installer but haven’t peeled film in years. I tend to learn by dropping the ball. Don’t use a torch on laminated glass. Yup I bubbled the adhesive and now I owe my friend a new window. Hoping I can stop someone making the same mistake 😅
For the guy that commented he used ammonia I didn't read the entire deal but this right here this video using the heat gun is actual factual it's true information and does work. You use harsh chemicals to try and do the job or unless you're wearing a respirator I would not advise it
Thank you for making such a straight-forward video. I'm going to look at a truck this week that has some DARK tint on it, and I was worried removing it would be pretty irritating to do on my own
I used ammonia based glass cleaner to spray all the glass tint. cover it with a plastic film like a garbage bag. apply heatgun to heat up all of the glass from the outside, esp the corners. Once enough heat is applied and it is warm to touch, use a razor blade/putty knife to gently lift up a corner. post that, use that to peel gently around the edges, equally covering the middle from one corner to the opposite, with the intention/care of not tearing the film. Not a big deal if it tears but it makes it easier to pull it one sweeping motion.
Awesome video great information. I am trying to get the aftermarket window tint off of my passenger window I loved your video very informational and to the point easy peasy. I will be subscribing to your website momentarily.
Thank you for this, I'll be trying it tonight. I bought a Mercedes and the tint is too dark, therefore "illegal" in my state even with a tint waiver. I just got the car yesterday and I'm already over feeling like I'm going to get pulled over every second! That tint is coming off ASAP (and getting replaced with legal tint)
I used my kettle after making a cup of tea but some people use their sisters hair dryer 😋 as long as it produces heat , you can use pretty much anything 😂
Maybe a dumb question but want to make sure I purchase the right equipment and do this right. Is there a specific heat gun to buy, and is there a specific level the heat gun needs to be on? I've heard if you aren't careful with the heat gun you can permanently plaster the tint to the window, is that true? Stoked to try this, great video man, quick and to the point!
I used the same gun I use to remove paint from woodwork or garage projects. Wore latex gloves and got it hot enough to soften the tint and it peels off easy. Didn't use hot water/soap for the residue, maybe should have. Used a razor and carb cleaner spray with making tape to protect the inner door panels.
@@captainamerica9353 thanks for the reply captain 🫡 I just did mine this weekend and it came off SO easy. Think I got lucky, used the heat gun just a bit but it pretty much peeled right off, little residue left. Could be that my car was sitting in the hot sun all day and that my tints a bit older. I just used the same heat gun he used in the video
As far as heating guns or heat guns go any brand of heat gun that you can find at Home Depot or Ace Hardware or something to that nature I'm sure suffice I'm going to try a hair dryer. On high heat to see if it works if not oh well and I will comment as such but I do have a heat gun at my shop that I will be that will be the next Price is Right
@@bdub6512 - I live in WI and bought a FL 1st gen CTSV. I'm cool with legal tint but some fool tinted this at 10%. After a week I pulled the front windows off. At night or even a cloudy day I couldn't see out my mirrors or the windows for safe lane changes. Really wish the backs and rear window were maybe 50%. How often do you replace?

Hairdryer instead of heat gun?

This reaction is why you are the greatest movie review personality. Just like Tina turner was one of the greatest musical artists.
You can also use a clothing/garment steamer to heat the tint
you saved the day! bought a car with window tint that i needed to remove for inspection
Got you!!
You can also just park your car outside in Texas to heat the film
Good video bro. Straight and to the point!
Thanks brother!
Salvation is found in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ loves you all very much 🔥🔥🔥
Bro quit yapping
I agree!
But does he do window tint ? 🤔
🫂
Will this method work on the rear window? Don’t want to mess up the defrosters
Use a steamer and it comes off clean no residue

Nice heat gun where did you get it from.
Awesome video great information. I am trying to get the aftermarket window tint off of my passenger window I loved your video very informational and to the point easy peasy. I will be subscribing to your website momentarily.
When pulling the tint off are you pulling it with alot of pressure or does it peel off pretty easy ?
Great video. Short and sweet!
What heating gun is this
Thanks for the vid, i'm here because i just got a ticket after using 35% for years
Yes sir! Take it off and right back on lol
zippo oil is my go to in removing any sticky residues.
If your tint is really old the adhesive will likely not come off with the film. Heat and scrape fun.
Will the process be the same for ceramic tint?
I believe so but I honestly couldn't tell you for sure on that one
are there cordless heating guns? I don’t have a place to plug one in?
Get an extension cord lol
How about the rear glass?
Thank you for this, I'll be trying it tonight. I bought a Mercedes and the tint is too dark, therefore "illegal" in my state even with a tint waiver.

Thanks just did it 🎉
Nice! No prob!!
Needed this, thank you
Glad to help!
At what temperature should I set the heat gun?
low setting. take your time
I used my kettle after making a cup of tea but some people use their sisters hair dryer 😋 as long as it produces heat , you can use pretty much anything 😂
Thanks broth easy & fast
What about the front and back
Going to try thanks
Thank you 🙏

Yeah the person I removed it for did.

@@mikerosavwhat is the temperature you used ? And what type of heat gun?
Thank you. The previous owner's tint is way too dark. Can't see shit at night!
Imagine I just spoke to a guy on pricing for tint... mans said $150 to remove. and 440$ for ceramic. I left the text msg right there
I seriously just got the exact same quote, will do it myself now! 🎉
Same
@@danieljames7 i WAS gonna do it myself. bought the tint n everything but ended up finding someone else that did $50 a window. so i spend 300 :/
"As you can see." lol
(Note) cheap tint will be harder to take off and won’t come off easy like this
Acetone takes that adhesive off easy
Acetone didn't phaze mine. Had to use carb spray.

You'd a fool not to have tint here in AZ. It doesn't last forever, so you have to redo it.

Not very good way to remove tint. The plastic bag trick works better
