Lol usually they give an insane price on removal because its time consuming and dreadful. So by giving a huge quote on removal itll deter them from wanting to pay so much to remvoe
Thanks so much for this fantastic video. I used a combo of a generic window cleaner, Dawn with water and ammonia...about 1/2 ammonia, 1/4 window cleaner with about 1/8 cup Dawn and 1/4 water. I then cut the garbage bag covers for each window, sprayed and covered each window (I also sprayed on top of the plastic to make it very easy to smooth out over the window. Then it sat in the bright sun for about 1 hour. I continued with the instructions and...PRESTO! It peeled right off with practically no residue to clean up. For the little glue blotches left, I took some steel wool and sprayed the same solution; the glue lifted right off onto the steel wool!
Sylvia Reyes Thank you so much for posting Sylvia! I’m glad it worked out well for you. Those are some good tips for others trying the same thing. Chad
AceTone nail polish remove. Works like a dream. No razor blade needed. Simply y with a paper towel and wipe clean! Did it with my car. The AceTone I used was purple in color.
Even tho this video is almost 5 years old,i tried this on my 2008 Honda accord and it worked perfectly.....big ups to you,you really save me a ton of money,watching this video was definitely worth it 👍🥰🥰👍
Quana Van Buren Thank you so much for commenting. Yes. It is definitely a more popular video than I ever thought it would be! Glad it has helped so many people. Chad
Quana Van Buren that’s so weird I’m here reading comments to see who tried it ! I have a 2008 Honda Accord and this is on my back window and I needed to know if I can just use the blade and windex alone . I stay in apt can’t get a blow dryer outside!
Just did this right now and it absolutely works. I didnt have a razor like that and access to a hair dryer so I waited until the sun hit the window optimally to heat it up. I used my own nails to start the peel and it came off exactly like that. The windex worked beautifully as well. Thumbs up from me, my guy. Thank you for the incredibly helpful video. Cheers
I’m so glad I found this! I needed my tints off since they looked so disgusting bubbling up and you saved me $200 from paying someone else. I already have all the materials too! Amazing ❤️
Thank you! We tried this and were thrilled with the result. We used my craft embossing tool instead of a hair dryer, and it worked great! Thanks for the short and sweet video that was so helpful!

Thank you for the video Chad. I have glue on my window and I've tried WD-40, alcohol, lighter fluid, and I think I've tried windex and it still won't come off. I'm going to use windex because I can't remember if I used it or not. Thanks bub.
Great video I just put 5% on my 2018 Acura tlx and I’m starting to regret it lol too dark might do 25% but regardless this is exactly what I’ll be doing if I decide to remove it. Thnx man
Omar Jones You are welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Hopefully you can find the right tint for you. You can’t tell as much when you’re putting it on until it’s on. Chad
This video is amazing!!! I was quoted 200 just to take tint off! My husband and I have never done anything with tint before and this video was so fantastic we got both windows off in about 30 minutes! We had trouble in the same corner you did and I ended up using the scraper and some tweezers to get that last bit out but this was great! Thank you!
Krista Homola That is so great! Thank you so much for posting. I’m glad I was able to save you some money. That was the point of making my crazy video. Thanks again. Chad
Thanks for your taking the time to show us. Now I feel I can DO this! Also, your graciousness toward commenters is noteworthy. I'll try the steamer approach.
Thank you! Was quoted $150 at the MINIMUM...And turns out whoever tinted my truck's windows last had it done cheap, so I was able to get it off all four of the windows I needed them off in about an hour. Turns out that failed the truck for inspection before I could even get it inspected! Passed it now though! Beautiful kitties by the way!
You need to use the blow driver as you as you are pulling off the tint. Heating little sections and then feeling back the tint while it's still warm. That way it removes the tint and the glue off so you don't need to scrape afterwards
This is an old video but I'm gonna try this on my 2010 f150. Someone did a shotty job on the drivers and passenger side on my truck. I seen this tint come off in one piece! I instantly thought that the old piece would make a great template to use to cut the new tint I plan to install. Good job man!
I was wiping my windows when i noticed area that didn't wanna go.I went to local garage they told me right away go to local car window specialist stubborn as i am didn't and try every possible tricks in the books toothpaste , compound , magic eraser you name it.Then exhausted contact the specialist talk about it on the phone and meet him.He said right away it's plastic tint windows.He did a 5 minute job for 1 window driver side for 35$.Then the other day front passenger side window same thing now i did it myself removed the plastic tint then the glue residue.I wasn't able to get it off till I saw your video and just did it myself this morning so satisfied.This really did work.By the way went down to this cause i tried shaving cream on windows for the fog doesn't work.
Thanks for the Windex tip. I had a small amount of Windex, tried it and it worked. I had to stop when I ran out. I had gone into a dollar store and saw same generic blue glass cleaner and wondered if it would do the same. Since it was only a buck I figured it’d be worth the risk, and if it didn’t work out I could use it on the outside. I was shocked that it worked just as well as the Windex. I think it’s the ammonia, which both brands had. Cheers!
Every adhesive is different. The type of adhesive in this video is fairly straightforward and easily comes off. Sometimes no glue will be left behind at all, other times you're dealing with something more aggressive and multiple razor blades will be needed. The real test is a back window - something pinkish purple - those are fun :). A steamer is the way to go, but cheaper ones usually don't cut it. Thanks for the video.
Trimline Window Tinting you tinter fucking people charge over priced. I saw this video and went to Autozone to buy a random tint remover, i just sprayed and peeled and all four window tints in my BMW are off within 5 minutes. I would cost me few hundreds bucks plus hours if I bring this shit to you guys tinters fuckers.
Thx! I just purchased an old '08 Saab 9--5 Aero and it has the same problem - wavy old tint I need to remove. Was really concerned about doing this until I found your video. THANK YOU!!!
Hair dryer: yes, it allowed me to peel off the film fairly quickly Glue residue: 91% rubbing alcohol and paper towel. No razor scraping needed. 2 front windows film-and glue-free in less than 15 min.
I was watching another video on how to remove tint off of windows. The guy was using Conair vapor machine and he did the job pretty well without any residue or any lines. The reason of leaving line residues is that the tint is cold and hard. Once the heat impacted on it, it'll come off pretty neat.
I did this waaay easier and free myself by saturating the tint with 409 spray and covering the windows with black plastic trash bags. Let it sit in the sun for 30 minutes, then picked a corner and peeled the tint clean off! There was no scraping, no glue left at all, it worked like magic and I saved $200!!
If you use a heat gun to heat all of the tint up, it comes off very easily, without leaving the glue behind. Pull the tint with one hand while using the heat gun with the other hand, always keeping the glue heated up as you go.
After watching for tricks and tips, I used heat gun but just a little heat, move it around, no hot spotting or you will crack glass, or use hair gun like him. Then I use gugone spray for the glue removal, and finish it off with your favorite glass cleaner, i use "clear glass". Have a 2005 Honda Ep3 with nasty discolored purple with horrible streaks and bubbles from previous owner. So glad i can see better, especially at night and in these South Florida thunderstorms.
Great job I changed it up used a heat gun instead of the blow dryer about 5 min and took all the glue off with the tint . Thanks for the video and the idea you gave me
I couldn't believe the glue did not smear due to the dry surface. I'm impressed. I'll try this on my passanger side. I already cleaned driver side with soapy water and a blade and was not as fast or as easy as this guy.
Sweet!! Just did your thing but with an actual heat gun. With the higher heat most of the glue came off with the tint. Glad I found your vid. I had people quoting me $200. 🤙🤙🤙
dakinehawaiian79 Thank you for taking the time to comment! I’m glad it was successful and it helped to save some money. That was my intent. I’m sure the heat gun was much more productive.
dakinehawaiian79 Thank you for taking the time to comment! I’m glad it was successful and it helped to save some money. That was my intent. I’m sure the heat gun was much more productive.
THANX! My dad's truck had tinting on the passenger side window and nowhere else. It was that way when he bought it. Since he passed away about 4 years ago, it's gotten really hard to see through. I think I'll get the old elbow grease out and give this a go!
I think if you had sprayed the top of the window, once you'd pulled a little tint sheet back, keeping liquid between the tint and glass, the liquid would have lubricated the glass and the tint would pull off easier.
Work super well. Bought a kit for like six bucks at auto zone, came with a nice razor and grip thing and a solution, but just used windex and it worked awesome.
Thank you so much for this video. My car was bought in 2014 but the Bahamas heat quickly damaged my tints. I was fed up...the tints started to peel off so I rip it off the glass. I started to wonder what I've done lol. It was like that from last summer 2019 with the glue gunk on my back glass. It's just my 2 back passenger windows. I'm now wanting to call in sick tomorrow to get started on this glue removal. If it's not baked on already from being like that for so long. Hopefully il come around to update you on the process. Thanks again for the help.
thank you so much! tenting windows isn't legal in my country and I've bought my new car overseas and now I'm stuck with it lol (I love it too!) Imma head to the garage and try it out. I subscribed cuz of the cute happy cat!
Just removed the window tint off the back glass of an 02 honda accord. Didn't need to use the hair dryer since it almost 90 deg. outside. The Windex was enough to use with no need of the razor knife. Awesome video, I was unsure how to get it off. Thanks
Nice! :) I have a good way to do that too, I start the car, drive over to my brother and give him the keys, play with his kids while he does the work ;) Seriously, you have some good tips here, I was just thinking the other day that its time to do something about our window tint, so TY for sharing :P
Be warned, it mostly depends on the type of tint and how long it has been on there. I tried doing something very similar to this and the glue was much stronger on mine. I used all kinds of things and ended up trying WD40 and it still took hours to scrap it all off. Then I realized that there is a flat fee for someone who does this everyday to do it and it's not much. Regretted doing it myself.
Thanks! I used the hairdryer on the inside edge of the film while pulling it down. Fast. I used a WD40 soaked rag to dissolve and remover the glue following. My ride is a 2002 Subaru and I think that film has been on for at least 10 years! Kind of expensive, so I'm going to try your windex idea. Thanks again.
I know this video is a few years old but this helped me a lot when I took the tint off my car. A few little shits in the neighborhood used a BB gun and shattered my back driver window. Old tint held it together. Got that replaced and drove around for a while with that being the only non-tinted window. Back when I watched this I decided to take it all off on the other windows for the same reason. Tint was bubbling and peeling. Shop wanted $160-$220 to take it off. Said it would take 4-6 hours to do. Watched this video and the peeling only worked for one window haha. Every other window was peeling in random strips. I eventually got it off using this way and spraying them down with Windex, covering that with a trash bag and having the heater on full blast. Peeled the trash bag, and tint came off with it. Went over the actual glass with more Windex to get the left over glue and presto, clear clean windows. Paid $100 for fresh darker tint after that. There were also cats around me while doing this, but none belonged to me, all random strays that appeared and then disappeared when I was done. Great video and great way of showing how you actually did it.
Good vid bud. Just removed 20 yr old tint from my car about 5 minutes each window. Heat gun then the windex and razor blade for the glue easy as. Now have the rear window with the defroster to worry about. Unfortunately it didn’t want to work the same on the back window. I guess 20yrs of Aussie sun just makes it come off in little pieces instead of a sheet of tint. Thanks.
theschoolpsych cheers yeah the back tint did a little section 2 inch bit at the top of the window and it came off as flaky pieces so no chance it coming off as one piece like the other did. Will keep checking and will get the right solution 👍🏻. 😀
mudober 1 You are welcome! I hope your project goes well. Be careful on the back window. I cut 3 of my defroster lines and didn’t realize it till winter! Chad
Thank you so much ,I have the same problem with my 1996 Celica the rear hatch cant see out the back but it has a rear window de-forger installed on the glass so I would not be able to use a scrapper.
Ok so I did this today. Started at about 10ish this mornin and just this minute finished. I was lulled into a false sense of security. The tint peeled off evenly and easily, oh wow this is simple I thought. Now all these hours later I've finished the whole car and it looks 1000000% better. However I'm now covered in little balled of glue I got a lousy headache and my right arm is 70% thinner than it was when I started. However I didn't have a blade so I just used the cloth wrapped around a finger. Holy shit hard work. But it's done now so thank again for he upload matey. :)
My husband just removed the auto glass tenting from his Ranger door pickup that was messed up. Couldn't hard see out the window. Thanks...what you said worked...
I'm going to try this today. I have an old CRV I bought for a work vehicle. The previous owner did a horrible job tinting the windows. But not just that he layered tint over old tint! Who does that?!? I previously peeled the top layer but now I can't see through the window because of the glue residue. Going to give your method a try.
Thanks for the demonstration with clear explanations. I need to the remove the tint & glue from my windows in my home & I appreciate your video & hope that it works for me. Thanks!
Man that reminds me of my mom's CR-V. It was black but the interior was the same. Someone took a power drill and went to work on her radiator. We didn't realize until it was too late. Good video though. Thanks for not making it unnecessarily long.
Unfortunately windex only works on tint glue that only a few years old. My rear windsheild tint is at least 10 years old and i had to use heavy duty solvent-wax and grease remover,spay it on heavily then put a plastic garbage bag on the surface of the sprayed glue and let it soak for half a hour out in the sun. It dissolved the glue and i wiped it off with a rag. Wd-40 also works using the garbage bag method but you will need isopropyl alcohol to clean the glass surface afterwards.
@Brianna Trevino another great way to dissolve old glue is use ammonia mixed with water 50% of each,its stinks but it also works very well. You don't even need the garbage bag and sun if you use ammonia and water. Put a old sheet or towel down to cover the areas you don't want liquid getting on. And of course use a new razor blade,I went through 3 razor blades doing my whole car.
Windex also worked great when I had to remove glue left over from a big sticker on a new cake pan! Just let it sit and then scrubbed with a sponge. Rinsed very well. This video was a double help then.
Use the hair dryer the whole time. It will soften the glue and help it come off with the film and make life easier. That must be some crap Home Depot tint. Ive never seen glue come off that easy.
State inspection stations in Texas now check for the darkness of window tint and if you don't pass, then you have to get it removed or you won't pass the required inspection for your license plate renewal. We had a vehicle with window tine and had driven it for years like that, but when we went to get the annual inspection this year it did not pass because of the darker tint. They just started checking this at the inspection stations so it was something new for us. My wife had the Honda CRV taken to have this done. They just did the front windows and it cost about $45 bucks. Wish we had seen the video prior to that to do it ourselves. I just purchased an '04 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi pickup yesterday. I can't stand the rear view mirror, as the window tint in the back windshield makes it always look as if I am driving on a dark night, even in the bright sunlight. I'll be trying this out to remove that tint very soon. I have a steamer, so I will also use it when I do the truck up. Thanks for posting.
a1930ford You are welcome! Thank you for such a long and detailed comment! Hopefully the video will save you some money in the future on your other vehicles. Have a great day. Chad
After removing the sheet of window tint with a hairdryer I found that ethanol was much better than isopropyl for removing the glue streaks . I found that wetting the residual glue with ethanol on a thin piece of cloth and then rubbing it of slowly was most effective. Frequently changing to a new wiping rag was needed because the glue gums up the rag very quickly.

It's not neccessarily the Windex, it's the ammonia IN the Windex. Straight ammonia works too, but it stinks.

Nate Nance That’s a good tip! Thank you for posting! Chad
Very true. I leaned this too. I bought a bottle of window cleaner at the dollar store (with ammonia) and it worked just as well.
I believe you can spray as you peel and it helps loosen the tint and glue as you go just pull a little then spray let sit for a second repeat process

Then I use gugone spray for the glue removal, and finish it off with your favorite glass cleaner, i use "clear glass". Have a 2005 Honda Ep3 with nasty discolored purple with horrible streaks and bubbles from previous owner. So glad i can see better, especially at night and in these South Florida thunderstorms.
Coolbreeze LB Great tips! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. Chad
Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Tomorrow I'm out the door with Windex and razor tool in hand to tackle my windows.
I live in Florida. Don't need no hair dryer to get it hot lol
Same here in texas😂
Same in Arizona
Same here lmao
I live in Australia with snakes beat that white American boy
Fr tho he's not lying becuz same with cali summers
Yea I have to do this. Got a fixit ticket for tint. Not even dark tint but it is what it is. Good video
Hope you have a successful project! Thanks for commenting! Chad
Great job I changed it up used a heat gun instead of the blow dryer about 5 min and took all the glue off with the tint . Thanks for the video and the idea you gave me
scaper97 That’s a great tip! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Chad
I couldn't believe the glue did not smear due to the dry surface. I'm impressed. I'll try this on my passanger side. I already cleaned driver side with soapy water and a blade and was not as fast or as easy as this guy.
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to comment Craig! Chad
Great video. Straight to the point, and I like the guest appearance by your cat.
Rob thank you for the kind words! And for taking the time to comment. Chad
Sweet!! Just did your thing but with an actual heat gun. With the higher heat most of the glue came off with the tint. Glad I found your vid. I had people quoting me $200. 🤙🤙🤙
dakinehawaiian79 Thank you for taking the time to comment! I’m glad it was successful and it helped to save some money. That was my intent. I’m sure the heat gun was much more productive.

This worked amazingly! The razor blade was crucial in the removal. Thanks!
Back Cracking Videos Amigo Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I’m glad it was helpful and worked for you. Take care. Chad
Thanks for the video, shop wanted $50 a window i managed to do this on my own thanks to you!
You are welcome! I'm glad it helped! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
Great video! Step by step, clear voice with instructions, and a guess appearance by a cat! Solid video!
Gary Smith Thank you for the nice comments Gary! Chad
Good seeing people not be lazy and get stuff done.
Love the sarcasm
THANX! My dad's truck had tinting on the passenger side window and nowhere else. It was that way when he bought it. Since he passed away about 4 years ago, it's gotten really hard to see through. I think I'll get the old elbow grease out and give this a go!
ImTheDaveman That should be pretty easy just having to do one window! Thanks for taking the time to comment. Chad
I think if you had sprayed the top of the window, once you'd pulled a little tint sheet back, keeping liquid between the tint and glass, the liquid would have lubricated the glass and the tint would pull off easier.
Michael Caswell That’s a good tip! I think you’re right. Thanks for posting. Chad.
I'll try this when i remove ve the tint on my daughters car
Definitely makes it super easy.
Thanks for posting this video, it worked great on my truck windows..the tint was on there for 10 years and now its like new from factory.
You are welcome. Glad it worked well for you. Thanks for posting. Chad
Work super well. Bought a kit for like six bucks at auto zone, came with a nice razor and grip thing and a solution, but just used windex and it worked awesome.
Thanks for posting! Chad
Thank you so much for this video. My car was bought in 2014 but the Bahamas heat quickly damaged my tints. I was fed up...the tints started to peel off so I rip it off the glass. I started to wonder what I've done lol. It was like that from last summer 2019 with the glue gunk on my back glass. It's just my 2 back passenger windows. I'm now wanting to call in sick tomorrow to get started on this glue removal. If it's not baked on already from being like that for so long. Hopefully il come around to update you on the process. Thanks again for the help.
Alberto David Thank you for taking the time to comment Alberto! I hope you got the glue off! Chad
thank you so much! tenting windows isn't legal in my country and I've bought my new car overseas and now I'm stuck with it lol (I love it too!) Imma head to the garage and try it out.
I subscribed cuz of the cute happy cat!
You are welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
Just removed the window tint off the back glass of an 02 honda accord. Didn't need to use the hair dryer since it almost 90 deg. outside. The Windex was enough to use with no need of the razor knife. Awesome video, I was unsure how to get it off. Thanks
That is great to hear. Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
You’re literally saving me 300$ 😭 TYSM!!
Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Chad
Nice! :)
I have a good way to do that too, I start the car, drive over to my brother and give him the keys, play with his kids while he does the work ;)
Seriously, you have some good tips here, I was just thinking the other day that its time to do something about our window tint, so TY for sharing :P
Be warned, it mostly depends on the type of tint and how long it has been on there. I tried doing something very similar to this and the glue was much stronger on mine. I used all kinds of things and ended up trying WD40 and it still took hours to scrap it all off. Then I realized that there is a flat fee for someone who does this everyday to do it and it's not much. Regretted doing it myself.
TY for the headsup, I´ll keep that in mind when its time to do my windows :)
Carburetor cleaner works best for removing the glue. No razor needed, spray it and it wipes away instantly with a paper towel.
That's a great tip! Thanks for posting! Chad
Thanks! I used the hairdryer on the inside edge of the film while pulling it down. Fast. I used a WD40 soaked rag to dissolve and remover the glue following. My ride is a 2002 Subaru and I think that film has been on for at least 10 years! Kind of expensive, so I'm going to try your windex idea. Thanks again.
This video has cats too!? I approve
ckaji15 Thank you for taking the time to comment. I approve too! Maybe I should change the name of the video and add “with cats” at the end.
I don't have a cat. Will a small dog do the job just as well?
I know this video is a few years old but this helped me a lot when I took the tint off my car. A few little shits in the neighborhood used a BB gun and shattered my back driver window. Old tint held it together. Got that replaced and drove around for a while with that being the only non-tinted window. Back when I watched this I decided to take it all off on the other windows for the same reason. Tint was bubbling and peeling. Shop wanted $160-$220 to take it off. Said it would take 4-6 hours to do. Watched this video and the peeling only worked for one window haha. Every other window was peeling in random strips. I eventually got it off using this way and spraying them down with Windex, covering that with a trash bag and having the heater on full blast. Peeled the trash bag, and tint came off with it. Went over the actual glass with more Windex to get the left over glue and presto, clear clean windows. Paid $100 for fresh darker tint after that.
There were also cats around me while doing this, but none belonged to me, all random strays that appeared and then disappeared when I was done. Great video and great way of showing how you actually did it.
That is awesome! Thanks for commenting. Chad

Thank you for taking the time to make this very helpful video!

Came for advice, stayed for the cat. What a pretty baby 😍😸
Awesome! Thanks. Mariah is the star if the show!
Thanks for the great video! I was about to take my vehicle to the tinter and pay to have my old tint removed! 👍
You are welcome! That why I posted it! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Thanks for the video and as a cat person myself it was fun!
Gus Pastrana You are welcome Gus! Thank you for commenting! Chad
Good vid bud.
Just removed 20 yr old tint from my car about 5 minutes each window. Heat gun then the windex and razor blade for the glue easy as.
Now have the rear window with the defroster to worry about. Unfortunately it didn’t want to work the same on the back window. I guess 20yrs of Aussie sun just makes it come off in little pieces instead of a sheet of tint.
Thanks.
So glad it worked for you. Be careful on the back window. I cut 3 of my lines when doing it. Thanks for posting. Chad
theschoolpsych cheers yeah the back tint did a little section 2 inch bit at the top of the window and it came off as flaky pieces so no chance it coming off as one piece like the other did. Will keep checking and will get the right solution 👍🏻. 😀
It is the ammonia in the Window cleaner that breaks down the 'glue'. Dollar store ammonia window cleaner works well also.
Thanks for sharing Chad . I just bought a used truck that needs new tint on driver and passenger doors. Now i'm going to do ti myself.
mudober 1 You are welcome! I hope your project goes well. Be careful on the back window. I cut 3 of my defroster lines and didn’t realize it till winter! Chad
Thumbs up who needed this video because police made em take their tint off 😂
Haha yes! It seems like that has led to the popularity of this video unfortunately. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Chad
im in the police academy and they’re making us take off our tints lmao
@@ydur-r4274 Haha. That’s funny. Give yourself a ticket!
MEEEE ASf😢😔
my struggle!
I'm glad I have came across ur vid, I bought my truck and it has tinted windows but it's hard to see at night. So I'm definitely going to try this.
Great! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
Thank you so much ,I have the same problem with my 1996 Celica the rear hatch cant see out the back but it has a rear window de-forger installed on the glass so I would not be able to use a scrapper.
GOO GONE
Acetone would wipe it off like nothing
Hahaha came here to check so I can take the tint off my 1997 celica's rear hatch window
Well explained with the things needed to get the job ✅ done!!! Your cat has a beautiful coat! Take good care of the cat!!
Thank you for the kinds words and taking the time to comment. Taking good care of the cat!
@theschoolpsych soapy water and a razor works alot faster & easier
Most of tinting company are charging $150 for this easy ass job, thanks!
You are welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
THANK YOU!!!! This is awesome. I tried several things before seeing this video. Worked like a charm.
Matt Wiley You are welcome Matt! I’m glad the video helped you. Thanks for posting. Chad
Thank you so much for your advice! It helped me easy to take the tint off the window !!!
You are welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
I am so thankful for this. I just tried this and it did not seem to work so I am going back to try again. I need to get the scraper though.
Chrystal Ellis Thank you! for posting! I hope the second time around works. Chad
Just did with a hair dryer on my M3 worked great, ready for new tint tomorrow
Great to hear. Thank you for posting! Chad
Ok so I did this today. Started at about 10ish this mornin and just this minute finished. I was lulled into a false sense of security. The tint peeled off evenly and easily, oh wow this is simple I thought. Now all these hours later I've finished the whole car and it looks 1000000% better. However I'm now covered in little balled of glue I got a lousy headache and my right arm is 70% thinner than it was when I started. However I didn't have a blade so I just used the cloth wrapped around a finger. Holy shit hard work. But it's done now so thank again for he upload matey. :)
Lee Ludlow art You are welcome! Glad it worked. Thanks for posting. Chad
I use this video to take off my 10% window tint off the day before inspection thanks
Awesome! Glad it helped. Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
That's why I'm here lol 😆
Did this and it worked like a charm. Thanks!

My husband just removed the auto glass tenting from his Ranger door pickup that was messed up. Couldn't hard see out the window. Thanks...what you said worked...
Patricia Cromwell You are welcome Patricia! I’m glad the video helped. Thank you for commenting. Chad
I'm going to try this today. I have an old CRV I bought for a work vehicle. The previous owner did a horrible job tinting the windows. But not just that he layered tint over old tint! Who does that?!? I previously peeled the top layer but now I can't see through the window because of the glue residue. Going to give your method a try.
ScottRebel75
Thank you so much for easy and simple tutoring, God bless you
Windex it is; cheaper and less toxic than the other stuff. BTW, I like your neighborhood. Looks like you live in the middle of a giant park.
Thanks for the demonstration with clear explanations. I need to the remove the tint & glue from my windows in my home & I appreciate your video & hope that it works for me. Thanks!
You are welcome! I think you're the first to mention tinted windows not on a car! Hope it goes well! Thanks for taking the time to comment! Chad
I have to do the same. I’m curious if it worked.
As soon as I saw the cat I subscribed
Ha ha! Somehow one or more of our cats always make it into my completely unprofessional videos.
Man that reminds me of my mom's CR-V. It was black but the interior was the same. Someone took a power drill and went to work on her radiator. We didn't realize until it was too late.
Good video though. Thanks for not making it unnecessarily long.
You are welcome crusherman! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
Unfortunately windex only works on tint glue that only a few years old. My rear windsheild tint is at least 10 years old and i had to use heavy duty solvent-wax and grease remover,spay it on heavily then put a plastic garbage bag on the surface of the sprayed glue and let it soak for half a hour out in the sun. It dissolved the glue and i wiped it off with a rag. Wd-40 also works using the garbage bag method but you will need isopropyl alcohol to clean the glass surface afterwards.
Awesome tips for older tint! Thanks for taking the time to comment Badger! Appreciate it! Chad
needed this thank you!!
@@brehabbing You are welcome! Thanks for commenting!
@Brianna Trevino another great way to dissolve old glue is use ammonia mixed with water 50% of each,its stinks but it also works very well. You don't even need the garbage bag and sun if you use ammonia and water. Put a old sheet or towel down to cover the areas you don't want liquid getting on. And of course use a new razor blade,I went through 3 razor blades doing my whole car.
Windex also worked great when I had to remove glue left over from a big sticker on a new cake pan! Just let it sit and then scrubbed with a sponge. Rinsed very well. This video was a double help then.
Great to hear John! Thank you for posting. Glad the video helped. Chad
Use the hair dryer the whole time. It will soften the glue and help it come off with the film and make life easier. That must be some crap Home Depot tint. Ive never seen glue come off that easy.
Tried it on my windshield. Worked out very well.
Langston Clah Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
Apply a little more heat and it should come off easier . Unless you live in 100 degree weather. Great video
Yes definitely more heat if you can get it! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
State inspection stations in Texas now check for the darkness of window tint and if you don't pass, then you have to get it removed or you won't pass the required inspection for your license plate renewal. We had a vehicle with window tine and had driven it for years like that, but when we went to get the annual inspection this year it did not pass because of the darker tint. They just started checking this at the inspection stations so it was something new for us. My wife had the Honda CRV taken to have this done. They just did the front windows and it cost about $45 bucks. Wish we had seen the video prior to that to do it ourselves. I just purchased an '04 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi pickup yesterday. I can't stand the rear view mirror, as the window tint in the back windshield makes it always look as if I am driving on a dark night, even in the bright sunlight. I'll be trying this out to remove that tint very soon. I have a steamer, so I will also use it when I do the truck up. Thanks for posting.
a1930ford You are welcome! Thank you for such a long and detailed comment! Hopefully the video will save you some money in the future on your other vehicles. Have a great day. Chad
And I thought of replacing my whole window, thanks for the video
Lord Champa Wow! That would’ve been expensive. So glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for commenting. Chad
After removing the sheet of window tint with a hairdryer I found that ethanol was much better than isopropyl for removing the glue streaks . I found that wetting the residual glue with ethanol on a thin piece of cloth and then rubbing it of slowly was most effective. Frequently changing to a new wiping rag was needed because the glue gums up the rag very quickly.
Very good tip Charles! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Chad
I use spray wax/instant detailer and razor blades to remove the glue.no hair dryer necessary.works phenomenal
George Myers what type of spray wax / instant detailer ?
Peachpie Chic I would think any brand should work.
I use a commercial brand at work made by technicians choice called correct-it
Thank you
Thanks and I really like that one can sit outside and have a table that will last a lifetime.
