hey the best advice i could give you is take your door panels off and use a heat gun and an exacto blade and go gently so you dont strach your windows with it and it should be good but p.s it will take some time to do it

How about using a heat gun to peel the tint.....Then!...use Acetone to clean the guew with a multiple of clean rags...Ta Da!

Tint is annoyingly stupid in the first place.

Oops...Sunroof/moonroof is the only panel worth tinting.

I used gasoline and a razorblade intended for scraping. Didn't have a heat gun but had plenty of gas haha

Gas destroys the glue in tint and when used lightly enough it evaporates easily and doesn't make a mess. Also, no lingering after smells.

peel off the film and use metal sponge and water to remove the glue.

use windex with alot of ammonia in it, soak the window. cover the window wit ha black garbage bag so it clings to the window. and since the ammonia'd windex will wanna evaporate. it wont have anyway to go except into the tint, so wait about and hour, now simply peel off your old tint, spray the window with a little more window cleaner, and enjoy non-tinted windows!! Enjoy!!!!

Yeah its sick, super street and Project car are the only mags i read. I love it cuz they place rude crude humour with hot *** cars and hot *** chicks all in one magazine. And its all straight VIP JDM goodness. Not the **** PASmag puts in.... they had a stock G35 sedan in there..... only cuz it had a killer stereo. Like wtf? But yeah, agreed. Best mag out there.

removing side windows tint can be done by yourself easily, but DON"T do it yorself at your rear window becasue you'll screw up your rear window defroster

Yes it can be done. Peel the tint off,take some easy off stove cleaner and spray it on the back window and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes than take a bucket with hot water and start wiping all the easy off. it will take all the glue residue and you will not hurt the defroster.
