tint on windows
 

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

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:-?

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

cool thanks guys

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

Leave them tinted.

i want to, but dont want tickets $$$

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

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

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

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.

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

yup I knew i wasn't the only one this happened to

thanks guys im sure ill get ticks for something like it's too loud

thats why i leave my front plate off.

its on the sides yes and its very dark . i will not remove the back because its legal. also i bit up front

i have my front plate mounted on the plastic airdam under the car.... they dont really like that either....

see ? :kneeslap:

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

^ 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.
