Getting glue off windows from window tint?
ok so I couldnt take it anymore. I had 5% on sides and back windows and it was driving me nuts at night so I ripped the **** off. Soooooo,the glue on the back window is fing rediculous! I have some of that goo be gone stuff but Im wondering if theres anything better? Maybe goofoff? What a pita this glue is. I thought I had it all off the side windows but its looks streaky as hell in the sun!

I've heard of people using the Aircraft Stripper to get it off. Apparently it won't harm the rear defrosters, but will eat anything it drips on. I've never used the stuff so I don't know first hand, just saying that's what I've heard.

use aircraft stripper in the spray can. it was a god send when i took my tint off. but BEWARE that stuff will eat your paint. make sure you tape the door off and be very careful with it.
if you dont wanna do that ive heard super fine steel wool works.
edit: ^^ beat me to it

i always use 3m adhesive remover from NAPA with 0000 steel wool, i work on motorhomes and they always get glue on everything glass included. Figured if its good enough for 500k trucks itll work on my SS

i'd just use goo gone. the other stuff sounds dangerous. i did the same thing. but i did it cuz my rear 1/4 windows (mustang) werent as dark as my front windows so i ripped the tint off. about to put black vinyl on them to black them out completely.
