Removing Tint
 
My friend just got his windows tinted and it just doesnt look right on the car, to dark ..Do you have to take it to the place that did it or can yu take it off yourself

You should bee able to heat it up with a heat gun and peel it off. Thats how i did it with the stock stripes on my car. I would imagine tint is the same way.

might want to get somebody else to confirm this though.

They make a "tint off" spray you can get at wally mart or any autoparts store. I removed it on my camaro with a razorblade and a sunny day.

Razor blade should do the trick. Since its new youll probably need some type of cleaner to get the glue off.

For the love of god DONT be an idiot on the rear window.

If its on any other window, just use a razor blade and take it off that way. The rear window takes TIME and patience.

Heat the backside of the window (facing out) with a heat gun or a hairdryer to loosen up the glue. Then peel the tint off. There WILL be glue left. VERY VERY VERY carefully, go over and remove the glue that is stuck with a razor blade. Go up and down, and do NOT press hard over the defroster lines. If you slice them, you get to fix them, and thats not fun.

At ALL costs, avoid the razor blade, it is TOO easy to scratch a window. If the tint is not that old, it should peel right off, no problem, then use window cleaner to remove the glue.
