GlanzaJ Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 It's such a pig of a job , the rears came off easy with a blade and rip off in 2 bits, but the the glue on my side window's took me hour's to get off and i wish i never started it ! , i used a bit of thinners and petrol to get the glue off, trust me once you start it there' s no going back !!

GlanzaJ Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) All depends on how much glue there is and how old they are ! Edited June 22, 2014 by GlanzaJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mm2101 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 autogylm do a green bottle of stuff excellent for taking the glue of after you have taken the tint off, i just used a blade to peel of a corner then it all came off, no heat at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hunty Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 If you can get hold of a fabric steamer that makes it quite easy to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steviet Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 As said above autoglym tar remover, film comes of ok with some heat. But glue is a bitch good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
