Window Tint
What is the best method of removing after market window tint. Previous owner had windows tinted and they are too dark for me. I like to see other driver's faces when stopped at lights and stop signs so I can read what they are gonna or not gonna do. This has saved my bacon many times during my motorcycle riding years. I want the other driver too have the same advantage with me when I'm driving the Corvette. Any suggestions? Thanks :eek:

Razor blade, it takes forever but it's the only way. Watch out with the back window and the defroster (if you have it). You can scrape the conductive material right off.

Alcohol. spray it, soak it... pull on it... repeat... scrape the remaining glue off with a blade... it will take a little while, but it will come off! :cheers:

Use a razor blade and mix up some diluted ammonia in a spray bottle. I don't remember exactly how strong I mixed it, but it took it right off on a truck I did. I wouldn't recommend using any sort of fuel for obvious reasons.

Re: Window Tint (jdharkey)
GOTO the store and get 2 things...
Some double ought steel wool...
And plenty of elbow grease...
The steel wool works real good with soapy water to get the glue off after you scrape/peel the tint off...
The elbow grease is self explainatory... :D
