Pickep up a 2000 TA that somebody "had" the windows tinted, but they ripped it off before I purchased it, now it has that hazy film still on the windows. I have seen window tint remover but didnt know if it was worth it or if their is some home brew/remedies that work better? Thanks!

Heat gun, soapy water and a razor blade. Check out these crazy Australian's advice!

Windex works good aswell. The older the tint is the more difficult it is to get out though. Make sure your razor blade is sharp

Think of it as wet sanding your window with a razor blade. Plenty of lube and a crisp blade.

you don't need the heat gun soapy water and a good stainless steel razor blade will do fine.

I personally have never tried but I hears aircraft stripper takes it clean off. Seriously

I do have a gallon of that in the gurage I might just give that a try! We got a foot of snow dumped on us this week and I have been on call so not much going on for me. MR Buddy heaters only kick out so much heat

do not use a razor blade on the hatch if you want your defroster to work. even if you think you can do it...dont. It only takes one tiny cut to mess up the whole thing.

Paint thinner works better than soap and water.

Heatgun, soapy water and a sharp blade worked for me. The back hatch sucks doing

Isopropyl alcohol and paper towels with some elbow grease is the safest route. Heating it up helped a lot too.

Ammonia will strip the "glue" off like you wouldnt believe. Just make sure you are in a ventilated area.

This is SPOT ON. Listen up.

No heat needed
Soapy water (Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo, the "no tears" kind is perfect)
And STAINLESS razor blade.

For the back window just switch to a plastic razor blade.

That can also make a smeary mess. Soapy water wipes away cleanly.

True, but the goal is ease of removal. Work smarter, not harder.

Ditto. I work for BNSF, all I hear about is working safe and doing everything by procedure, So warm water and baby soap, using a plastic scraper so i dont knick the rear defrosters. We got a foot of snow this week/end, so gonna shoot for next weekend when it warms up a lil bit.

I'll add my .02 cents.

I've removed a tint from a few vehicles. My favorite way is soapy water and a blade, but depending on the vehicle I use the heat gun on occasion. Some have such terrible tint jobs in hard to reach places that the heat helps pull it back, but if you do that I recommend at least a paper paint mask because of the smell.
