tint on windows

[shadowfire]

hey guys i have tinted windows does anyone know how to remove the tint and how much it would cost to have it removed??

[jam01]

it is a pia, razor blade and or scraper and time. you should be able to use window cleaner to get the glue off.

thats the only way? i dont want to mess up the window:-?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Take your time and you won't mess up the window. Use a very sharp blade with lots of window cleaner as a lubricant.

[shadowfire]

cool thanks guys

[MyFirstZ]

the lubricant (window cleaner) is very very important makes it so much easier

[sweetbmxrider]

Leave them tinted.

[shadowfire]

Leave them tinted.

i want to, but dont want tickets $$$

[sweetbmxrider]

I got a ticket back in 04-05 for tints, haven't since.**** people!

[shadowfire]

hmm i guess ill wait till i get a one before i take it off

[MyFirstZ]

Leave it on then, I have only gotten one ticket when they were at 20%, the second "tint" ticket I got is because the officer didnt give me the ticket for speeding and just wrote me for the tint, when i went to get it approved that it was removed in my county, the officer said i should have just left it on when he was signing the paper.

i really think it would just be a big pain to take it off. it might look good, but i dont want to go though that problem, so i ll just wait till a cop tells me too

[MyFirstZ]

Thats what i did, i just did it twice lol

This is on the sides right?? Don,t use a blade on the back glass.

Good question.

And rear glass tint is legal, BTW.

[FlyingDutchman]

I used new utility blades in a handy knife like this from a hardware store...

and sprayed straight ammonia as a lubricant/adhesive remover. I had excellent results. As stated, do not attempt on the rear hatch b/c of the defroster lines running back and forth plus the tint in the rear is legal and helps keep the car cooler in the summer.

leave them on. i have 5% on everything i drive. sometimes having illegal tints is a good thing, ive been written for tint twice, when both times i should have gotten a lot bigger of a ticket

mine is in the front wind shield driver side... will they stop me for that?

[1320B4U]

^ yes, they can cite you for it. It needs to be displayed on the front portion of the vehicle. I have mine under the seat in the camaro and the birds....man i don't know where that plate is come to think about it. Got hassled 1 time for the plate by a female cop though....and cited 4x's by the mahwah cops for it about a decade ago...weird.

When I first got my TA in the summer I had my plates there and got a ticket for unclear plates, although that's not what I got pulled over for.

i use the hide-a-way holder above on my iroc. works great. so far..so good. at least its always where it should be if ur pulled over. can always argue you "forgot" to put it in visible position after a car show...

[Tru2Chevy]

Yea, the hide-a-way holder is great....I saw it on that awesome blue IROC this afternoon actually :)

I would definitely keep it out of your windshield. It's not a legal place to display your plate, and I don't see any reason why a cop that was a ball buster couldn't write you for unclear plates as well as obstruction of view.
