want to take the medium smoke window tints of the cossie and been quoted £80 to get it done.it was professionally done a few years ago but want them off as the police are alot stricter now and dont want fined.

Anyone had experience taking them off and whats the best method/tools to get it done

thanks.........steve

 

Honestly mate, the £80 is nothing compared to the greif you'll give yourself. My mate's windows were never the same after he removed his himself.

 

will just book it in then as dont wanna muck the windows up.am hearing stories all the time of people round here getting pulled and fined and even in crails high street their there all the time waiting for cars with tints.cheers stoo

 

No worries, it's just with a car like yours i'd want a proffesional job done on them

I know what you mean about Crail, the police are looking for any excuse really so it's best to be squeaky clean

 

Just pay the £80 mate.

Its one of the worst jobs you can possibly ever have to do on a car.

By the end of it you will want to put your fist through all the windows..

 

i used a steamer for mine in the past, peels straight off

 

Noooooooooooo, dont pay £80 mate!!!

I used to do loads of these at work and a few of my own cars. All you need is a new stanley knife blade and a spray bottle with a fairly liquid/water mix in it. Start to peel the film off and once its all off, youll be left with a clear film of glue. spray the mixture on and itll come off easily with the blade. Its sometimes easier to peel the film off if you point the heater vents to the window for a few minutes first.

Should take no more than about 10-15 minutes MAX to do two front windows.

By the way, its the rear windows that are a pain with the heated elements in. Best to use a tar and glue remover on the rears.

 

if you take the windows out the car or are just very very careful nitromorse would piss taking the window tint film off.
