Ok, so moving to Texas has meant a few adjustments....

One of which was getting the car inspected. In Florida, we dont have that crap anymore, so I was able to get by with my illegal tint for a few years now. I get out here and I find out that limo (5%) is a badbad thing.

As a result, I had to remove it, which meant tearing it from the windows, and leaving glue and a shredded layer of tint all over them. (yah my guy did two layers to get it that dark)

I want to remove it this weekend, as I cant stand to look at it anymore, and was wondering if anyone knew of a good way to get it off without using a razor?

Also, does anyone know of a good shop north of Dallas for getting it replaced with the darkest legally allowed out here?

Your best bet is going to be some Windex (or other window cleaner) and a scraper aka razor if you want it to come off clean

I used a razor and windex on mine, no problem at all. Also hit it with a heat gun especially on the rear hatch. All came off clean with no marks. For little adhesive spots that got left i used Goof off (i think thats what its called).

if I understand the law correctly and was told correctly you can have limo tint on your car, however your Drivers side tint is the one that has to be like 30% or what ever the legal amount is. The rest of the car passenger windows and rear can be as dark as you want

The driver window and the front passenger window are suppose to be 25%+, I believe. Anything behind those can be spray painted black for all they care.

Spray painted

Actally, I was told that it MUST be over 18% (the law is 20% +- 2%) on drivers and passenger windows, and the rest doesnt matter.
I kept the tint on the hatch, which was a custom inlay job I paid a lot of $$ to have done, its just the front two windows I need to clean now, Ill try the windex/scraper, but I was worried about scraping the glass....

as long as you keep the blade flot on the glass you should have no problems its not hard
