I
got a ticket for tinted windows.
How do I remove the film myself?
Removing old film on roll-downs or other
side windows of a vehicle normally is not due to adhesive failure but
to tickets. If this is your problem simply roll the window down slightly
to expose the top lip of the roll-down, take a 1” single edge razor
blade and peel back the top corner of the film and slowly peel the piece
of film off the window. Do it slowly, as this often will allow the old
adhesive to remove with the film and make your job quicker and less
messy. Peeling the film too fast will cause the adhesive to remain on
the roll-down once the film has been removed. If this occurs (it normally
remains on the window) then take your spray cleaner and spray the window
and let it soak for about 60 seconds, then slowly razor off the old
adhesive using firm, steady vertical strokes.
Again, check to see that all of the
old glue is removed, otherwise the glue will show up as white blotches
under the new film installation. Run your hand over the entire window
to “feel” for any remaining areas of old adhesive. Cover the door panel
with a cloth/rag to protect it from your soap and from the old adhesive
you are removing."
