Tint glue removal? I had to remove the tints on my side windows this past weekend. Taking the tint itself off was the easy part. How the hell do I get the glue off the window, it is some strong stuff <img src="images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

Re: Tint glue removal? simple green and either steel wool or a couple razor blades and itll be off quick. Just put simple green on a rag and rub it in and it will come off sooner or later. Put some towels down or youll make a mess. Some people use dawn dish soap as well because it is pretty strong stuff as a cleaner.
Good luck.

Re: Tint glue removal? Thanks for the replies guys. I used some Windex and a razor blade today for the driver's window. Came out pretty damn good. Tomorrow, I'll do the passenger side. Took me about an hour to do one window.

Re: Tint glue removal? There is one other option if you are very carefull, and that is acetone.. Just don't drip any on your interior, it takes dye off of plastic too...

Re: Tint glue removal? Nope your not the only one QuikSSilver.
You figure a cop could find so much more important things to be concerned with.

That's what I've always used (I did it twice) and the glue came off with ease. Drape your door covers with an old sheet to keep from damaging the material.

Same here goof off works great, just be carful of the interior.
