does anyone know of a place to get tint removed? i recently got a wrx but the three rear windows are tinted and i want to get it removed. How much does it usually run? thanks

 

where ya live? i think it is about 1/4 of the cost of getting em tinted

 

why not remove it yourself?

 

seems easy enough

just pull it off yourself.

Or come to UCKK next week and beg Vincent to do it for you.

 

I checked that link.. Waste of time... Just get a razor blade and use it to pull up an edge, then peel with your fingers. Peel diagonally on the rear window so you don't damage the defroster lines. Afterwards use some goo-gone or goof-off. Just go slow and be patient.

 

Pulling it off is easy....getting all the adhesive off is not, especially off the back window where you can't really use a razor blade because of the defroster wires. When I removed the tint from the front two windows on my wife's wagon, it took me a good 1.5 hours and a lot of elbow grease.

When I removed it off my car, I went to the place on the corner of Bernardo and El Camino in Sunnyvale (Auto Sound??) and they removed it in like 10 minutes for $20. T'was worth it to me.

I'd be nervous about doing the back window myself though.

 

I done this myself to my old Integ. Not easy

Its best to take it to a shop.

 

Took me 45 minutes to do all 5 of mine...

 

Must've been some cheap adhesive then...lol. Everything I read said oh just use Goo Gone or Ammonia/Windex...riiiiiight.

 

hey mexicanpizza, how many windows is that for 20 dollars? i want it removed from the 2 back windows and rear window. Sounds like a good price, i thought the rear window would cost something like 80 dollars.

 

That was for the 2 front windows.

 

windex?

 

damn i bet they'll rip me for the rear window.

I dont want to do it myself because i don't want to mess up the defroster lines.

 

ask vincent....I'm sure he'll give you a fair price. Omega.

Why you taking it off?

I figured maybe you were taking the fronts off cause of a ticket or something. Fronts are cake.
