Default How to put on window tint

hey everyone i just bought some 2.5% tint and i want to put on my side windows. Anybody have advice on how to remove my tint i have on now and, how to put the new tint on?? I would pay someone to do it for me but nobody wants to do it since its illegal. I have a 98 TA vert if that helps any.
Thanks, Brandon

there is tint remover at wal-mart. and just take your time to take it off. putting it on takes longer espically your first time.. put a tablespoon of baby shampoo in a spray bottle of DISTLED water. clean the window really good. make sure there isnt the littlest amount of dirt on the window. cut the film with a razor NOT SCISSORS. spray the window and the inside of the film place on window. spray on the outside of the film squeegee from middle out. make shore it is cut right or else it will cause you a big headache.......... or take it to the tinter and say that your going to make the car a drag car and trailer it within the next weeks.

cut out a little bigger than you plan on using, then once it's all on, use a razor blade to trim out the excess edges. get a friend to help. it's much easier with 2 people.

I was told by the shop that did my tint to use Simple Green to remove it. As far as installing tint, I did it once and it was way to time consuming and I have a very low patience level so now I always have it done professionally! Good luck with it though.

Ammonia (AKA Windex) takes it off very nicely. That and a razor blade.
