Extra tip: Heat it from the other side of the glass ;) You won't have to worry about burning yourself and you can heat a much larger area, allowing you to pull it faster. Plus, no risk to over-heating or accidentally hitting your door panels.

@@mobileautorepairs2169 You will be perfectly fine using any heat gun. I have a harbor freight one I use as well from time to time or while out on jobs. I would say keep the tip of the heat gun about 6 inches away and keep t moving in a small area. Operate it at high/max or move the tip a little closer and operate on low (about 3 inches away). You'll just want to get the glass pretty warm and as you start to pick the corner, you'll be able to SLOWLY pull the film back, while slowly progressing the area of the glass you are warming from the other side.

@@mobileautorepairs2169 With tint that has been on there that long, it may come off in pieces - be prepared for that. IF that is the case, it become a mess because you'll want to use something like Xenit (purchased at Home Depot or Amazon), spray the remaining tint/residue, and take a metal razor blade to the window. Just keep the blade angled greatly (like a razor does when shaving your skin). Again, just be advised that it can get messy removing super-faded/expired film.

I used ammonia based glass cleaner to spray all the glass tint. cover it with a plastic film like a garbage bag. apply heatgun to heat up all of the glass from the outside, esp the corners. Once enough heat is applied and it is warm to touch, use a razor blade/putty knife to gently lift up a corner. post that, use that to peel gently around the edges, equally covering the middle from one corner to the opposite, with the intention/care of not tearing the film. Not a big deal if it tears but it makes it easier to pull it one sweeping motion.

Guys real quick. I’m a great window tint installer but haven’t peeled film in years. I tend to learn by dropping the ball. Don’t use a torch on laminated glass. Yup I bubbled the adhesive and now I owe my friend a new window. Hoping I can stop someone making the same mistake 😅

I used the same gun I use to remove paint from woodwork or garage projects. Wore latex gloves and got it hot enough to soften the tint and it peels off easy.
