I had my doubts when I started that this was going to work, the tint is almost 20 years old. It came off so easy, awesome trick, thank you for sharing. It made a job I was not looking forward to so easy!!!

I bought some expensive ($12 for 8 ounce spray bottle) window tint remover. I used it on the front two windows, was not impressed by the effort it took with the scraper, about 30 minutes per window. I'll try this on the rear window for sure.

This video may be 5 years old but the method still works. I wasn’t nearly as meticulous and it still worked. I did leave the trash bag with the 409 for nearly 2 hours. I also didn’t have the tool to smooth it over, I just used my hands. When I took the trash bag off, the tint film didn’t go with it. I just cut a little slit and the tint came right off. I was left with a thin layer of adhesive on the window. Sprayed it with more 409 and it came right off. Then I used windex to shine it up.

This is a true professional at work here, major respect on that super clean peel, a legit sign of refined technique for sure, I understand the condition is a factor but that technique was flawless, steady, even and very mindful of peel speed. It's refreshing to still see a man take pride in his work. +1 respect and a new sub.

I just finished using this method to remove the tints on my car. Unfortunately all the adhesive on my rear window stayed on upon removing the film, but a bit of elbow grease and patience did the trick. Now all my windows look clean and i'm going to hold off on having them re-tinted. Thanks for the instructions!

Hey this really works,just finished it about an hour ago . This tint was put on when I bought the car new back in 05' ,so like 12 years old and it started looking ratty a few years ago . Anyway long story short ,do exactly what this video shows you ,I'll just add one thing . When you try to peel it off you'll have to actually get a corner started with a razor blade ,just enough to get it started peeling and then it comes off just as easily as shown in the video.

This method saved my day. Being a rookie and not knowing I started heating and peeling by rear window tint and was frustrated after an hour. Decided to stop since it was mid night and before I went to bed I figured I would look on KZfaq for a different method. Came across this video and tried it the following morning and I was in shock when the film pulled right off. Worked like a champ for me.

@ShiftyKen08 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, this method didn't work for me exactly as planned. I followed all the steps but maybe because the glass cleaner I had didn't contain enough ammonia or it didn't work simply because it's me. The first application did exactly nothing. So I pulled down the trash bag and reapplied the glass cleaner. Since the direct midday sunlight obviously didn't have enough stank on it, I started the car and ran the heater full blast for at least half an hour. What did that produce? A bubble approximately 3x6 inches at the very top of the glass. Luckily it was enough. I just grabbed that piece and started pulling down firmly but gently. It all came off rather uneventfully from there in one rather thick piece. Cleaned up the little areas of left over glue with some goof-off and viola, all done! Thanks for the help, I'd have been paying some shop a lot of money to do that. Well worth it!

This just totally worked! The black trash bag had to be done in layers (big window) the bag didnt do anything but attack heat. It started peeling in 12mins w heater on high on an 85 farenheit day. I think the heat and the ammonia is the key. My husband gave up after following exact method...but his tint was 30yrs old. If it doesnt work...keep it warm & ammoniad until it peels. Absolutely no glue on my window. Awesome! Thank you so much for this tip!

I can't hardly see out the back glass so I'm going to give this a shot. Just out of curiosity, isn't it a bad idea to use steel wool on the rear defogger? I just thought it might damage it. I mean I know you shouldn't scrubbed hard on it but I don't know how fragile or durable those traces are. Just for the record, I like the music.
