My "new" 323 convertible has unfortunately had tints put in.
Strange choice realy as the owner is not the bling type (middle aged, no big rims etc.).
Anyway, bottom line is I don't like thim. To me it don't look right!.
Thing is, whats the easiest way to remove the tints. Razor blade? Thinners? heating the glass and picking / peeling? I don't want to go to the point of replacement glass as I don't want to mess around with the comfort settings where the glass drops slightly to clear the hood as per coupes.
Anyone done anything similar. Any ideas?
Tint's removal!

Its not a 2 min job to remove tints but I found this the easiest way:
First you need to peel the film off which and be tricky and very annoying.
This will leave you with a window covered in glue. With advice from a chemical expert at my work, the best thing to remove the glue is Rain X as it contains a certain chemical and also use the back of a sponge to help break it up.
Its best to do one window at a time as you dont want to be driving around with a window covered in glue.
I had to do this on my Fiat Stilo (worst car ever) due to a crackdown by the police round my way and it does work.

peal the film off and go down to the local hand car wash and ask them to wipe clean your windows with tar and glue remover! works a treat and probably charge you about 2 quid!

! a treat. I've got the film off all 4 windows and the glue off the drivers window. It's currently very smeary but some autoglym windo polish should sort that. Thanks for all the tips guys.
