    Removing Window Tints

    So I decided I no longer want my front windshield tint; however, I don't know where to start when attempting to remove it? I have heard of people putting a steamer to it to release the glue

    Anyone have experience with this?

    What a waste of a thread

    Read online a lot of people actually took their cars to tint places for removal?...

    I just went outside and put the heat on for about 5 minutes and peeled the whole tint off :O

    I just removed it from the front windshield. I am leaving it on the drivers window/passengers

    It came off nicely and definitely looks better then that curvey ugly tint. However, now all of the glue is stuck on the inside and seems like a pita to remove

    Some goof off will take care of that glue or decal remover from the auto store would work good as well.

    Autozone had no goofoff so I will try pepboys tomorrow. I don't see WD40 working. I tried to put the heat on it and scrape it but it is pretty good glue lol
