I bought my grandson a car the other day that has the very dark film on the windows. What is the best way of taking this off short of changing out the glass? I'm sure some of you fellows have a solution for this. Thanks

Byfar the best way of taking it off is the same way it was put on. Use a heat gun set at low temp. Start at one corner and start pulling, you will be suprised how easy it is to remove and will not scratch your glass.

I went out this morning the temp. was about 28F and took a razor blade scraper started the edge made scoring about every two inches got it started and it peeled right off. The side away from the sun peeled easier than the one with the sun shining on it. It will peel easer cold than when warm. Now getting the glue off may be a different story. When the kids were showing cattle we used glue on some of the hair and used WD40 to get it off I might try that. Thanks for all the info. Glen

I don't know how to take it off, but I applaud you for seeing that it is done.

Two products that might work are "OOPS" or "GOOF-OFF" Both work well for me, to get stickers off of things. They can be found in most paint departments.

Xylene is the main component in OOPS and Goof-Off and is far less expensive than either. Whether you use xylene or either of the consumer 'Goof-Off' type products, do a test patch to see if it will melt any plastic or other nearby surfaces. If any of them do, use lighter fluid or kerosene to remove the glue residue. Lacquer thinner may work also, and be less flammable.

Glen,

I've never tried the stuff and I don't know what it's made of, but I've seen some stuff specifically designed for removing the tinting film right next to the film itself in the stores where I've seen it sold

I know that my local Home Depot sells the film and the removal kit.

Good luck,

Tom in TN

I personally have never tried to remove it but I think the only way is with a razor edged scraper.

Use a single edge razor blade and cut to the glass in 1/4 to 1/2 inch strips and peel them from the glass.
