Tint removal Rear Windshield

[@newmexicojoe5443]

Holy crap! I went to the hardware store, got what I didn't have, and got back home to tackle this. Amazing! Before, I've scraped with a razor blade, then spent hours with cleaners trying to get the glue off. This just very smoothly peeled back, taking the all of the glue with it and left my rear defogger lines unscathed! I know this video is almost 8 years old, but I need to tell you there are still people that appreciate it. Thank you very much!

[@johnfink5060]

I just tried your method to remove the tint from the rear window of a 1996 Accord LX and it worked perfectly! No glue on the glass and all the tint came off in one piece. Thanks for showing the world how to remove tint.

[@DopeTintings]

+John Fink anytime!

[@lorigirl09]

Just wanted to say thank you - as a struggling single Mom, I couldn't have had this done professionally!

[@DopeTintings]

We are so glade we could help you out. Feedback like this makes posting this video all worth it.

[@lizbethward3037]

I was told that this process would take 2-4 hours, and at LEAST $50-$75 at the exact same place that installed the tint initially. So....... I youtube searched and voilà! Your video pops up. Unwilling to part with my hard-earned $$$ I will try your method. Thanks for making it look easy enough for a 40-something working wife/school mom to attempt.

[@LPMutagen]

Followed this guide exactly and it worked exactly as demonstrated. Thanks so much for posting this! I was worried bad about how to not F up that defrost grid trying to clean up the adhesive.

[@I_playpillars]

Your a good guy helping others. THANKS for all your time !!

[@gabrielcrichlow5323]

Just want to say thanks. Your technique worked to perfection.

[@chaospaysoff]

Very helpful going to save me $100 plus an hour at the shop. looking forward to doing this over the 4th of July weekend

[@jimc2298]

This worked perfectly! All the tint came off in one large piece (besides the bottom where the glass was coolest). I really wish I would've watched you vid before I already took 1/3 of the tint off. There was barely any glue leftover with your method. Tip: denatured alcohol works great for glue residue.

[@nathanielbeddoe3343]

I just followed your video to remove the tint from the rear window of my 2008 Accord and it turned out great! No glue left. Thank you for your help.

[@FANTASTICoFORD]

Excellent, I'm gonna sit in the shed with a black bag and a spray bottle and wait until summer 😁

[@liannebenn2097]

I just did this with soapy water, plastic bag and put a fan heater on the window for 45 minutes as it's a bit chilly today. I couldn't believe how easily it peeled off.

[@DopeTintings]

lianne benn wow! Never would’ve thought about that! Thx for the fan heater tip!

[@VoodooDon]

Best explanation i've found of how to do this so far very good video and job thank you

[@andreaw7787]

Had to remove my tint yesterday, was stubborn and used the hair dryer BIG mistake BIG BIG mistake. Had adhésif stuck all over the damn window. I tried this method for the passenger side 🙌🏾came off clean. I used the same method on the adhésif itself and it wiped off so easy. Great video thanks!!

[@LacrossePunk20]

Oh man I did this and it worked like a charm. Peeled off like a sticker! Thank you for sharing your expertise 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Tanneenkrss]

Works great! Removed the tint on my car and this method worked great for the back window. Had a few glue residue on the upper defrost wire that's it. Used Windex, there is no 409 here in Canada... Didn't work for the sides tho... Had to do an hour of razor blade + Windex...

[@paultaylor333]

Absolutely. Well said and well-documented. Thank you from Northern California!

[@DopeTintings]

Thank you and your welcome!

[@newmexicojoe5443]

Awsome! I recently bought a suburban that someone had put very dark limo tint on the rear glass. I was really concerned about removing it and possibly destroying the defroster lines. It was so dark, I couldn't hardly see shit out of it through the rearview mirror. Annoying as hell! I'll be using your method here. Thanks for the time and effort on the upload. Much appreciated.

[@182592victor]

thank you thank you thank you your technique saved me at least 100 dollars... Very generouse of you to share that secret with us

[@Dannycornejo9]

Thank you for sharing the video it’s really working i saved $100 dollars for the rear window tint removed

[@DopeTintings]

Danny Cornejo Awesome! That’s what I like💪

[@VanguardDragon]

Nice work guys, exactly what I needed to know; a way to do this effectively while also being cheap and easy. I'll give this a go in a couple of days. Thanks.

[@reagank4]

Perfect! Well done! Thank you from South Dakota! 99 Mustang Gt

[@cesarcastillo4341]

This video helpd alot the tint came right off i used to take forever doing this now in less than an hour thanks

[@schnooksdad136]

Tinted windows are not my thing! Just bought a honda crz with a tinted hatch...your method looks clean and easy,so I am gonna try this,hope not to mess it up!

[@MyNameIsCorey]

Just bought a honda civic si that has a really bad tint job on the back window gonna take advantage of the one warm day I have this week and follow the steps thanks for the upload

[@rickvulcan2126]

By far the best method. Thanks!

[@awallace8970]

Thanks a lot... I went to have my rear window redone,, and these guys wanted to charge 175 just for removal.

[@DopeTintings]

Thank you and your welcome!

[@lard1892]

How bad was your back window?? This doesn't work for all conditions

[@mikethepainter]

very well explained. keep making videos. lets get you to the pay scale.

[@rhalljr31]

Ty for taking the time to make this video and taking your time being detailed

[@EarlPlahang]

Can you do this process to remove the tint with also using a heat gun? Like removing tint during winter/colder seasons.

[@DopeTintings]

Some tint shops do not know about this technique, but it all depends on the condition and age of the tint. Some vehicles do require a new back window or the defrost to be scraped but we do try to avoid that at all cost.

[@timothymcfadden2368]

This method works exactly how you said!!! Thanks for sharing this info and saving me some cash!!

[@mv5203]

You totally rock! Tint place wanted 150 to do both front windows and windshield strip. Thank you!

[@elusivenoesis]

Worked great on. 1997 Nissan Altima with two layers of tint. Factory layer, and aftermarket layer came right off. Windex did not work as well, wish I watch this earlier.

[@dennisgray563]

Best video by far on how to do this! Thanks!!

[@robertmckeown3014]

I'm going to do this in the spring on my Bronco. Thanks so much for the tutorial!

[@tubeuni]

Thank You did it on my car and it really worked perfect thanks! Again thumbs up 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@gass4tube]

That's a PRO's work!! Really perfectly done!! Regards

[@gass4tube]

Jajajaja activo en las redes sociales??

[@melissaralstonjones1550]

Best video on this process! I am trying it this weekend...thank you and wish me luck!

[@DopeTintings]

hope all went well..!

[@jmecillakennedy7102]

Best method ive seen on you tube and it worked.great video.

[@andreaw7787]

This might sound silly but how do the defroster lines not come off with the tint film?

[@bbllaakkee]

bc that's made into the glass

[@sweetheart3354]

You saved me a lot of money thank you for posting n sharing this video.

[@randymartin8354]

Sweet heart let me get us number lmao

[@arianaestrella9032]

This is such a life saver!

[@MK2121]

This worked great. Very simple and effective. Thanks!

[@DopeTintings]

Thank you and your welcome!

[@DopeTintings]

A steamer to heat and remove tint would be better and for the left behind glue use all purpose cleaner and a scrubber that wont scratch the glass. Let us know how this works out for you. Good Luck!

[@andym9955]

this is a great video. thanks. Will try it this weekend.

[@artist2170]

Okay... I'm doing this today! Awesome tutorial.

[@M3Vader]

just did this on my M3 worked like a absolute charm! thanks for tip PS: GO PHILS!

[@raidergus]

I own a mustang hatchback and I'm going to give this a try! I'll keep you posted!

[@JaviEzko7]

Thanx for the video. I love learning clever DIY tricks like this. Good job!!

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Nice job! My new car came with extra tint - black windows on a black car! Looks like a van! Seriously though I'm concerned about safety so will be having the tint removed! Many thanks for video.

[@heypainterman]

You are frigging BRILLIANT! Thanks!

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Great video! My tinter quoted me $120 to remove the current tint. (Going darker) I'll just remove it myself

[@DopeTintings]

Sorry RIPP for the late response.... it should work however add a little Ammonia with ur mixture. Be very careful not to add to much, make sure u are outside with doors open when spraying solution inside car!!! Good luck!

[@mikesrandomvideos]

well made video got your red button. lets get you to the top

[@micthegreasemonkey2918]

awsome u just saved me hundreds i was gonna replace the glass its self.

[@Jfizzle813]

Gonna try this today ! Will let you know how it goes! Thanks so much !

[@jmer3536]

never seen or heard of this technique before. good tip yo! wonder if heat gun or hair dryer would speed up time and get similar results??

[@DopeTintings]

NO! heat gun/hair dryer will not work!

[@akaba2864]

Thank you sir will definitely try this on the next sunny day.

[@flinchbacher]

Thank you great instructions. I'll be trying this soon. Keep up the good work...

[@leopollock7251]

So thankful for this video thank you guys for your knowledge!

[@LordGandor3]

I know a guy who was cleaning the back window of a porsche & because his neck was bent awkwardly (which the Dr. said restricted blood flow) he had a stroke . Very rare but be careful not to stay in a neck bending position for too long .

[@Indigo_travels_usa]

Hi Im trying to take the rear window tint off to put a darker one that match my other windows but I was wondering if this would affect my rear defroster. I went to a couple of places and they said that the process of removal would take appart the degroster. does this process do the same? thank you

[@mikeyoung2862]

Great, heard about this method, I'm removing film tomorrow on tempered glass ready to install a new film

[@timoteoluna3789]

thank you. just what I needed

[@mobility63]

you can use water or window cleaner. it must be a hot sunny day. between the liquid and heat, you are in effect, steaming the tint off. the plastic bag must be the large smooth BLACK type. slit it so it's one huge piece, then cut it the shape of the window, but bigger so you have extra to shove it underneath the plastic window surrounding...that and the window cleaner helps to keep it in place. I can't stress enough, it must be black, because black keeps the heat in. let it marinate in the sun for 20 or 30 minutes. it's important to have the back glass directly facing the sun. leave the bag on when you pick at a top corner to start to peel it. it should come off smoothly and quietly. if you hear a ripping sound, it's not hot enough and is probably leaving the glue on the glass and taking off the defroster elements. note that if you old tint is purple and bubbly, it's an old 2 ply film and probably will not come off easily. in fact it could take hours if that's the case, because the bag method will take only one layer of the film off, leaving the second purple and bubbled layer. it's not fun. and it's smelly too. at that point you might as well throw a brick at it and claim it on your insurance!

[@rogershea5964]

Thank you for this great option. I will give it a go on my old Camry sedan (I only wish it was a hatch!), Cheers

[@mitch8020]

Nice video. Thanks very much for this. Mine is in baaad shape.

[@carlastevens8247]

Awesome Job!!😍

[@hstaf01]

good job guys, thanks for sharing your skills and experience with us

[@stephenhopkins9541]

Excellent tip & video. Thank-You for posting.

[@vickyanderson8987]

Just to be sure I understand. Car parked outside on a sunny day with the rear defroster on for 15 minutes before removing the trash bag?

[@tonyt.3220]

great video, thanks buddy !

[@DopeTintings]

Thank you and your welcome!

[@ilovephotos1919]

thank you VERY much...I will be trying this on my car this summer :)

[@randyespinoza500]

Thanks for the video, haven’t tried it yet but will used this method. Question though did you peel off a piece of tint with the blade before you restarted the video ? Thanks in advance

[@allreptiles1966]

Cool. Gonna try this tomorrow

[@DopeTintings]

It should work with no problem just follow the steps and you should be fine.

[@DopeTintings]

Yes, It should work with no problem

[@DopeTintings]

Great to hear it worked for you

[@Goodnightandgoodluck-c7m]

Hi there just to reiterate, the heat in the car as well as the rear defroster has to be turned on right? Would you recommend me using a heat gun or a hot steamer? Thank you

[@elarhy]

i tried this metod, it took of a plastic fil over the window, but other layer of tint remains! we tried to scrape at it, and some pieces did come of, but not even a little piece to take hold and pull. how do i remove it?

[@HaloBeastin]

I know you said a sunny day. Does it have to be a warm sunny day? I only ask cause you mentioned that you used the rear defrost and heat in the car. So with those on, does it still need to sunny?

[@DopeTintings]

+Ryan Kingery yes warm and sunny.. the defrost helps a little

[@aamaalsafa5000]

argh i live in Uk son wants tints off to give back car to company for exchange 👍 no sun here.... maybe a hair dryer? u suggest

[@mobility63]

as for side windows and roll ups, just use glass cleaner that has ammonia in it, heat gun and razor blades. the bag method is too difficult on those windows. keep in mind no liquid is absorbed thru the film. your just using the humidity effect, ie moist heat.

[@91blackR]

What if the window has a lot of bubbles

[@raybazan9332]

Thank you for sharing. Great tip!

[@luigi3286]

Did you turn on the defroster before peeling of the tint ? Thanks

[@deseremere]

And with the tint goes your rear defroster, especially for the older cars where the defroster metallic coat is soft and brittle. Ask me how I know... That's the main reason tint shops do not want to deal with it - you have about 50% chance to end up replacing the rear glass because of the severe defroster damage.

[@mb1636]

many many thanks of sharing to humanity. peace !!

[@hunter6099]

You the Man

[@uoohoo99]

I like the steamer method better because it aleviates getting 409 (chemicals) all over the upholstery. You don't have to have a sunny day for heat, and it takes all the glue off too.

[@kennya1425]

Uoo Hoo Can you elaborate on the steamer method?

[@irmadeleon5418]

so leave in sun for 15 min then start car with heater on n defrost on for how long ? did u put the hutch down while in the sun?

[@aslchromeshop]

thank you guys!!!

[@DopeTintings]

Leave the defrost and heat on while the car sits in the sun to help heat up the back window.

[@juanmontalvo8897]

i have a g35 coupe. do i do the same method for the back little windows? thanks in advance

[@IntegraDIY]

This only works if the film stays attached to the dye/color coat and glue.. if the film peels away from the color film layer, you are screwed like me :D

[@damu26basky]

hi i tried it to my rear window, it worked thanks, but the glue cannot be removed, can you please give a good idea how to remove the glue

[@DopeTintings]
