no, I got lost in all the posts and didn't pay attention to screen names.

Well that's some crazy **** in your case. Nice to know it took it off that easily. And yes, Air Craft paint remover is some strong ****. It burns, lol.

That's weird.....I bought my 1999 grand prix this summer (2009) and I had to take the front side window tint off to safety the vehicle and the 9 year old window tint came off super easy with my steamer.

They must have used super glue to put your tint on.

The sheet comes off by just pealing it off, the problem is the mastic under it. I used "goof off".( Home Depot) It took awhile but wasn't harmful to side panels.

Hi,
I have honda 2002 accord and tried to remove the rear window tint. First layer came off very quick when i had soaked the window with soap solution and garbage bag. But, the second layer is being a pain. Tried ammonia, steamer, heat gun et....

I bought below item from menards as per the forum's suggestion. This doesnt help either... any suggestions?
