I just want to say that this method of removing the tint works very well for me. I watched a few videos on youtube and this one seemed the easiest. What I did to remove my 10 year old rear window limo tint 1st I sprayed the back window with just normal water from a spray bottle. 2nd turn on rear window defrost for 10-20 mins 3rd used the steamer and a razer to slowly remove tint and glue…it came off in one piece thats it.

Mine was $280 fix it ticket. If I remove it before a certain date and pay the $25 "administrative fee" for the inspection, the citation goes away and I'm assuming doesn't affect my insurance. All super frustrating because the dealer I bought the car from didn't ever inform me that the car was not street legal. (I'm a female first time car owner in my defense.)

Kevin Dean I've seen it cost as low as $25-50 per window to have tint removed and if you only needed tint removed from one window then sure pay someone. But for an entire car it can cost $100 or so just to have it removed depending on whose removing it. So spend $100 or spend $35 and do it yourself?

Thanks for the 'Top Tip'. It worked great. The small amounts of adhesive left behind came off very easily using the steamer and a razor blade. The steam makes the glue very, very soft so the blade can peel it off. I like this method because no harsh chemicals are needed and there's no danger of damaging the door panel (or your lungs).

Outstanding idea. I bought a used Conair fabric steamer on craigslist for $10.00 and the entire process worked like a champ. I had horrific visions of the tint coming off in sticky little pieces if I would have done it with a razor. Instead, I did all seven windows in my PT Cruiser in 90 minutes, with virtually no adhesive residue to clean up. I must admit that I was amazed at how fast and easy it was. I'm selling the steamer on craigslist, after one day of use, for $15.00 so I'll end up making some money off the deal. Thank you cbutters for saving me the $200.00 to have it done professionally. You're the best!

...and that's it? There's no glue residue?? That's right...it's true...what he said...I just came in...took me 30 minutes including first time set up of the steamer (birthday gift x 4 years ago!!). PS: What did the guy at the Tint Shop want to remove from TWO windows on my Audi TT? $150. I asked "how long will it take?" "Oh, about an hour." So are you licensed? Graduate school? "No, there's no license to tint." But you charge $150/hour? Incredible.

Let me just say a great BIG THANKYOU for this information. I have a 97' Civic and I bought it about 4 years ago and had it tinted. The tint started to fade away. I went earlier today to get a quote to get it removed and retinted. One place said $360, the other said $250. I followed your directions (at night here in KY), and within 30-45 minutes I completely removed all window tint, including the rear defroster. You saved me a lot of money!! Again Thanks! God Bless.

Thanks for sharing this tip. It saved me $130 that was quoted by several shops to remove the tint on my 2007 Honda Civic. One tip for Civic owners that I wanted to share was how to get the tint off of the tiny windows in the front by the mirrors since it is such a small area. All I did was steam the outside of the window and it came right off without any problems. When you do this you will have to hold the steamer against the window for a bit longer than doing it on the inside. Thanks again!

Angel Valenzuela You might be right... I heard that car tint on 2012 models is so incredibly space age and new, the industry has totally changed during that year. Car tint is evolving incredibly fast, and especially the year 2012 is made of completely different compounds than a car even one single year prior. Also a car that is 2012 is so cool that the heat from the steamer can't even touch it.

I already had a steamer, but to those that are talking about buying one (they aren't that expensive) and returning it, that's a pretty crappy thing to do... steamers are darned handy for multiple things, consider keeping it!

thank you for saving me $$ with your "here's how" method. just done removing the tint from my driver side window using your method and the film came off as easily as you said, but still got about 95% of the glue residue on the window. I guess the glue on my window was stronger. I still think your method is easy and efficient. I used nail polish remover (NPR) to remover 100% of the glue residue on the window! it worked! don't get discouraged like i did when it seemed not to do anything the first time after a few scrubbing. My son learned that holding the rag soaked with NPR on the glue residue for at least 30 second to 1 minute allowed NPR to disintegrate the glue residue and making removing it as simple as wiping it off the widow! I'm still amazed by how easy it was to remove the film using your technique and the glue residue with NPR! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Worked perfectly. I used a small hand held portable steamer for $19 from target and a razor. Left no glue. Took me 30 mins to remove from all four windows.

This works really well. My wife and I just removed the tint from 5 windows in about 30 mins with no glue left behind. We have no experience. Thanks for this video CButters. On a side note, the glue fumes can get pretty bad at times so I would advise wearing a mask. Thanks again.

Bought a fabric steam cleaner today and it worked! Did exactly what he said in the video, except my tint was REALLY old and after taking off the actual tint with the steam cleaner, it left the adhesive so I just used some Windex & paper towels and it came right off

This method makes perfect sense. With steam, the water vapor is going right through the film and glue layer. The trapped water vapor between the glass and tinting helps to take it all off nicely, unlike using just heat from a heat gun.

wow i can't believe this method worked! I have used a heat gun on my other car to remove some old tint and that went horribly wrong so i had to end up taking it to a professional who was able to take off the glue and tint off. I just want to say that the steamer method is the best method. My advise is to heat up the window with the steamer then with the blade start at a corner if you can and SLOWLY start pealing it off. On my first try i did the drivers side window and i tried doing it fast like the guy in the video and some layers of the tint pealed off which took me a little longer to remove the whole tint film but no residue was left on the window. On the passenger side it was a breeze! i took the whole tint film off in one big piece, but this time i took it slow so patience is key. good luck.

got a fix it ticket for our Suburban for front windows. And use the steamer to remove the tint. Took about 15 minutes per window. I just used our clothes steam we had already from Bed Bath and Beyond. Tip: if you get any residue left on your window from the tint. Use a micro fiber cloth and the steamer to heat up the goo and then use the micro fiber cloth to wipe it off. Just keep repeating until it comes off. If the goo part is kinda think or a lot, let the steam condensate and get a bit wet, then you know its hot, and wipe it off. Side notes: the tint on our windows is about 2 years old and was what looked like a double layer. Good Luck. PS thanks for the video!

My experience wasn't quite so easy, but I think that had more to do with the fact that the tint has been on much much much longer than 9 years and I was trying to do it in the winter so it cooled faster. But over all I'd still say this is a great idea. Thanks for sharing. I'm just glad I can do it from home. :)

I just successfully removed the tint from my 2012 vehicle! It was super easy. Thanks for the demo! I barely had any glue left on the window but I used the steamer to get the last gooey bits up too. I can finally see out my windows! The steamer I got just for this project had a small reservoir so I kept a big water bottle handy to refill.

I have 19 year old tint on my rear window that I needed to remove. I tried heat gun first, I do not recommend it....it just dried up the tint and melted it and was not easy to remove. I then tried the steamer as in this video and it worked like a CHARM! I would recommend steamer any day, so easy to remove with it! Thanks CbuttersTech

Had to say this works great. I watched a few parts of the video and got the basic how to down and went for it. Less than 10 minutes later I had all ting off. There was some residue left behind but that took about 5 minutes each window to get off. Need a steamer anyway and that was cheaper than what the tint shop quoted. Great video.

Please be sure to use petrol, otherwise the sticky will never come off. Thanks again mate, if I didn't see this video, I would've left my windows they way I brought the car, bubbles all over, very dangerous, always had to keep my drivers window down to see beside me.

For anybody claiming that this doesn't work - can just drive right over to the tint shop and hand over their wallet. Thank you to cbutters Tech for uploading this video and saving us our hard earned $$$$. The process took about less than 10 minutes for both of my front windows. Heat it enough, attempt to peel it.. if theres hesitation - heat it some more (don't go crazy with it though). In the beginning I didn't heat it enough and peeled fast (that left a fist size of glue residue). Corrected my tiny mistake with goof off for the small amount of residue that was left over.. or you could heat and scrub with a towel (repeat until gone).
