Default hatch glass...grrr

decided to take all the tint off my car, side windows were a breeze to remove/clean adhesive off, but after i pulled the hatch tint off, it left behind A TON of adhesive..

i spent about an hour and a half using 3M adhesive remover which works well, but is still a job, i only got about 1/3 of the way done

this can be both a rant and a warning...

ronsonol lighter fluid works well on it also, my cousin used that when he pulled the tint off one of his old cars.....just be careful and don't spill it on the carpet, and definitely don't smoke while you're working with it....lol
