Howdo you remove film.Do i need a pro. Tommy

I've seen it done before but your best bet is a pro- it's very easy to tear up the defrost strips on the back window.

[cammed goat]

I agree. Leave it to a professional. It'll be alot cheaper in the end.

[tatertot91]

not that expensive to have someone else do it, maybe someone will chime in on doing it yourself though

I just did mine last week and i soaked the film in 409 and it came off easy and then i used goo gone to take the glue off it was easy

[bberretta]

Everything I've seen says use ammonia and cover it in plastic- 409 is some strong stuff so it should do the trick. I have to get mine done. Idiot who had it before the guy that I bought it from had tinted the windows himself and they look like crap. Really messed up the factory tint so I have to have it all stripped off and re-done.

As said above will work or get a black trash bag and put it on the outside of your car. Make sure its a really sunny day. Wait 30 minutes and peel off. Use a razor blade with soapy water to remove glue. If your tints on the back window do the same thing but be very careful with the blade. If you have a light pad of some sort u maybe able to use that.

The best and safest way is to use a steamer.
It should come off with little glue residue.
A friend of mine is a pro tint installer and I've seen him do this a few times.
It works like a charm...

Steamer for the win.........

[INMY01TA]

I agree. The tint itself just peels right off. I used a Shark portable steam cleaner to get the glue off. Real easy. DO NOT use a razor blade on the passenge windows. Scratched one of mine all to hell and had to replace the glass. As for the back, I had no problems with the rear defroster strips using the methods I described. I wouldn't pay someone else to do it.

[GOR1LA]

did you use a dull blade with no water? If you use a sharp blade and water you shouldn't have issues with scratching. worked like a charm. Never thought about a steamer but next time ill use that.
