    How to remove car windshield tint film

    I bought a used car with an illegal windshield glass tint plastic film (too dark).


    How can I remove it? I tried steam, but some patches are hard to remove...


    Is there a clening solution that fully removes  the film from the glass?

    Some suggestions here. Heat seems to be the best idea for removing the film http://www.ehow.com/how_5557701_remove-automotive-window-film.html

    I tried Steam from a Wagner Unit plus Windex but the results were not good, even after using a razor blade to scrap off the glue... I am talking about the front window of a 1993 GS-300 Lexus, a 20 year old tint film...


    I have seen many U-Tube clips, it seems easy, but after 2 1/2 hours of trying, it was not, and there are still 3 windows plus the rear left...


    Maybe I should try pure ammonia next time...


    Thanks to you all, Senior.Oldtimer
