Tint Removal
I got poped for my windows being to dark. I have to strip off the tint on the drives and passanger sides and prove to the court that they are not illegal. Any good suggestions on how to remove the tint...

Someone posted this a few weeks ago. Sounds silly but I did it and it worked GREAT. Spray the tint with water, take a black plastic trash bag and stick it to the wet tint. Put the car in the sun for approximately 3 hours, then remove the bag and the tint. The stuff just peels right off.

I retinted my '99 before I sold it and it peeled right off. Bought some adhesive remover at Home Depot and took the residue right off.

Read his post he says the side windows. There are no defogger lines on these two windows.
