Anyone know how to take off tint witout using the steam cleaner..previous owner had ugly ass tint

you take a new razor blade and slowly scrape at the corners till you can peel it off little by little. or you can heat the glass up and peel it off easier. then take windex and soak all the glue residue and scrap it off with a razor blade. you can also use brake/parts/carb cleaner to disolve the glue but that can seriously ruin the door panels and whatever interior pieces it gets on

You can use Aircraft paint stripper as well. Just DON'T get it on your interior anywhere. Just spray it on and let it sit.. make sure your in a ventilated area (not in a garage) and open the doors and everything else to allow the fumes to flow out.

You'll still need to use the razor blade but it will make it a whole hell of alot easier!

use a household cleaner with ammonia like windex. spray the window down and place a thick black trash bag over it. it should stick to the soaked window. do this on a hot day and give it like 15 min to evaporate. the back will force the ammonia to go through the tint and will lift the glue. it should just peel off. i just did mine nd it worked great. no razor blades or ruined interior. :thumb:

I took my baked on tint off with one of those steamers that have the hose. Took a while to get it all, but it left no residue and I didn't have to deal with fumes
