- How to Remove Old Bubbling Window Tint and Replace with New Window Tint | Dirty Messy Job! People ask how much to Remove old window tint. Removing old bubbling window tint is not a fun job. Replacing window tint can take a lot of time and be a dirty job to get done. Some films can be removed all in one shot and some window tint comes off and leaves the glue behind. Of course you don't want to damage the rear glass so most of the time you need tyo strip the glue with chemicals. Now there are other ways of doing this but when it's cold outside you can't use the heat to help. I steamed this od bubbling tint but the glue didn't come off. So I used Super Stripper and LAs Awesome to remove the glue.

Have any of you dealt with old bubbling tint on your rides?
Use goof off it’ll be a real game changer I promise DONT use goo gone it’s gotta be goof off I promise
@@kareemirving5208 thanks for the Tip, I'll grab some and try it.
It's not the adhesive. Glues don't "fail" in specific areas only. Those window defrosters are heating that tint up. Over time it caused moisture build-up then "boiling" of the moisture, then, those bubbles. The steam had no place to vent. If window tint is watertight and hydrophobic, there should be no need to "defrost" rear windows. Tell customers to find tint safe anti fogger crap to spray on the rear window tint and tell them DO NOT USE rear defrosters.
@@icanfartloud wow, man I've never heard that before. Thanks for sharing that information. I never even thought of something like that happening under the film.
@@icanfartloud I'm noticing a few bubbles starting to form on my rear window, is there any way to prevent it from getting any worse? Just really not trying to pay to have my tint redone
Brother thanks for responding, your hard work and honesty great work!!
Thank you I appreciate you watching.
bro this the FIRST and ONLY video ive found that explains excactly how to get it done you the GOAT im following i preciate the info
i need that spray
Thank you for watching!
This music you got in the background is going hard! I love this! this is my meditation kind of music
And most of my videos when I do install, let’s just have a beep playing in the background I want the videos to be more than just talking kind of like a quick little movie. Thank you for watching.
I have one like that in the morning on a 2011 Chevy Cruze thanks for the video!!
Good luck. Hopefully not as bad as this ☝🏾
I've a 1st generation Mitsubishi Eclipse that belonged to my wife with a similar rear window film issue. Been reluctant to repair due to possibly damaging those defroster lines. It's gotten so bad I'm going to have to address it very soon. Your video was very helpful, I'll replay it several times before doing the removal and replacement. Good job on that Chevy! 👍
Thanks for watching. There was a car from down south the tint turned clear it faded so bad I couldn’t remove it. For a couple hundred bucks we just got a new glass. So it’s not the end of the world. Some people don’t even use the defrost any ways. Good luck 👍🏾
Great workmanship!
Thank you!
It appears that the person featured in the video is knowledgeable about the tinting process and demonstrates a professional approach. Bubbling in window tint can be caused by various factors, such as high temperatures, particularly when cars are parked outside, which is more common in southern states like Florida and California. Additionally, excessive heat application during the installation process, typically done with a heat gun, can damage the film and cause it to harden, potentially allowing air to penetrate the rear window, particularly in the area between the heating wire and the glass. This highlights the importance of the skill and expertise of the installer in ensuring a high-quality and professional tint installation. When performing the forming process, it is crucial to apply just the right amount of heat needed, as window tint films have a predetermined threshold for heat tolerance before hardening.
Wow man very informative comment. Thank you for taking the time to help give us that knowledge.
Lol chat gpt
Great video. Very informative !
Thanks for watching!
Great job . a lot dedication right there
Appreciate it!
Thanks bro you made my back window looks good now
Thank you for watching!
Wow. That's a lot of work. Good video. 👍
It was a TON of work. Thankfully it was only the one window, even though the largest one.
Amazing good job learning
Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool I was trying to see if I could do it myself
You can just never know what to expect until you get into it.
You`re the BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm just trying to make a living. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
You're videos are great. The best I've found. Question, the tint that you applied on this vehicle, what are the specs on it? VLT? Carbon? Ceramic? I've seen some tints called Charcoal Standard? Metalized/Dyed? Adhesive type?
Thanks!
Thanks for watching. We all have our own style. I like to tell you and show you what I'm doing. This is a Carbon film. Check out FlexFilm Terra Flex. You can Google it and find the specs. Thanks for watching.
Bro, this is some skills! awesome vid !!!!
Thank you for watching!
You are the wizard and I bow before you!!
Appreciate it but I'm always learning just like everyone else. I'm blessed to have good customers and people who let me help them out.
Thanks for watching.
My son is going to try everything you said (except putting the tint!).
His son's first car. UGH!
@@sherkkdc4536 there are tons of tint brands and glues so you can't say for sure it will come off but these are the steps I take to get it ready for more Tint.
@@FadeToBlackLLCWe will try what you suggest. It beats buying a butt load of GOO GONE which wouldn't have worked anyway! You are the bomb! I'll let you know how this process turns out. Hopefully with pictures! Could you tell my please what grade steel wool you used?
@@sherkkdc4536 0000 steel wool. Good luck!
Some fuel injector cleaners that type of stuff work pretty good for tint glue.
Interesting!
well done
Appreciate it!
“Tint off! The killer stripper” Stinks but no glue gets left behind!
Thanks
waw nice work
Thank you!
I’m going to get my new car tinted in like two weeks and I already have my setup for the tints but I want to know if it’s possible to tint the whole front windshield then put the visor tint on top of it? Like 50% windshield with a 5% visor
Yes, I'm pretty sure I have a video showing that on my Channel. You can do that all day.
Eager to hear how you like it?
Fade To Black LLC It’s not bad. So far I’m starting to like it lol I went from a Toyota to a Honda.. Lol I was surprised at first that the Honda Accord costs way more to put gas in than the Toyota Camry
@@bassdynasty8840 I've had both of those back in the day. My Camry was tinted 20% Sides and Rear with a 35% full windshield.
My Accord was just 20% Sides and Rear with a Vinyl Visor. Those were way back in the day though ha ha.
What year is your Accord?
Just got my first car and the rear tint is bubbled so bad i can’t see out it. Gonna remove it myself then wait till i can afford more to be put on. Seeing you do it and seeing that it can be done with a handful of store bought adhesive remover and a TON of patience has definitely helped me get an idea of how i can do it myself. Dunno when i’ll do it (maybe after some more research) but i might edit this comment updating how it went. Thank you so much for this video!!
If you just had it done why not go back and talk to them about it and see if they will fix it?
@@FadeToBlackLLC no, I mean i just bought the car. The tint has likely been on it for a long time cause it’s used
@@Merlin_Ambrosius_1100 have you tried removing it yet? I need to strip mine too
@@SpookyscarySayge not yet. Too lazy 😂 but I’ll definitely reply when i do to let you know how it goes
@@Merlin_Ambrosius_1100 okay, thanks :)
I don't know what you're using the strip the glue it but but when I do my vinyl I used mineral spirit put it on their heavy and then spray a little bit of WD40 on the paper and then wipe it with it and that makes it pretty easy to come off
Learn something new all the time. Thanks for posting!
How can I get some of that super stripper? My back window looks exactly like the one your working on. Also what other things do I need to buy so I can get this done. I wana do it myself and I don't want to scratch the back window. Thank u
Flexfilm store has the product.
Very good job about how long dose it take to do back window
Honestly I have no idea. Most of the time it’s with a full car installation.
Great job! Now wish me luck 😅
We all need luck when it comes to removals 🤣
Do u have a link for the super striper sr?
I just posted it in the comments yesterday
Nice job👍 one question.is it easier doing this with a hatchback?
If the rear glass can open up and you can stand there, it then probably would be.
Just came upon your video. I am in sunny Florida. Can this be done in direct sunlight as I have no garage or car port. I did pick up the awesome and will be working on a Kia Optima with all the defrosters. Just want to make sure I’ll do no damage working on it in the direct sunlight. Thank you for the video.
There's no guarantee that the window will still work. I've never had an issue damaging a window though so I usually don't worry about it. The main thing is just getting the glue off with no issues.
You can bake the glass out in the sun with Florida heat and a trash bag. I'd probably do that before a steamer if it got really hot here.
It's all about trying methods that work best for you.
@@FadeToBlackLLC Thank you for the feed back. I’ve heard of the trash bag theory. I thought it was just one of those myths. Lol. I’ll bag it up and let it bake it’s going to be 85 degrees and sunny today. Really appreciate your help.
@@cecestroh3229 I just left Orlando from the two day Tintertainment event. It was a nice few days away. Now I'm back in Wisconsin. Have a good one!
How much do you normally charge to remove and retint the back window? TYIA
I tell people a price range because I just don't know. If it comes off easy I'll be able honest and give them a break. It takes a long time I charge them for that.
There really isn't a set price for me.
It's those big hands for me🏆
Not sure what that means, but thanks.
My rear window looks worse , I bought a heat gun but I am worry about the defrost coming off. do you recommend a steamer better ? Thanks in advance
Yes I have a link to a steamer in my Amazon link in the description. It's the one I use.
Hey will this process usually cost $400? My local car tint place is trying to charge me that much. I’m not paying that. Going somewhere else. That’s almost how much my car payment is
I can't say how much it will cost. There isn't a set price for this it's all just the amount of work that it takes to get the job done. You can always shops pricing around, nothing wrong with that.
There where many factory tint jobs where full of these especially the rear windows Ford comes to mind on many models.
Both jy Fords bought with factory tint ended up bubbling...PPG crap😢
Where can I get that pink spray that you used?
Flex Film Plus or window tint supply companies. I also think there is a link in my description.
Sick!
👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Where do you purchase super striper from?
flexfilmstore.com/collections/cleaning-prep-chemicals/products/gt1071-super-stripper-adhesive-remover-gallon
Wow man, are you in ft Lauderdale , or can refer to someone there like you?
No I’m in Wisconsin. Not sure who’s in that area but just use Google and find a shop with good reviews 👍🏾
I had 40% 3m ceramic tint install on my vehicle about 7 months ago. I want it remove for darker tint is it worth the hassle getting it removed
I guess that depends on how bad it bothers you. If it will keep on bugging your mind go ahead and get it done. I personally like 50% which I've said in most of my Windshield videos but I like to test the waters so I can experience for myself. I thought 35% was to dark for my area and I tried 40% which is a little lighter but still at times to dark. I won't remove it unless I have to, so for now I'll just leave it. You have to decide that, your vehicle.
@@FadeToBlackLLC Thank You I'll probably leave the tint as is and tint my windshield
@@carolinapantherfan4330 yeah just do a nice shade on the windshield and it will help.
Those defroster elements are more durable than I first thought.
I made sure not to rub that hard. I was Jusy trying to rough up the glue and let the Stripper bite in.
I didn't want to replace a glass that day.
@@FadeToBlackLLC last tint shop ripped out all my defroster lines.
I came here to see if anyone mentioned the defroster. Messing that up is my biggest fear doing this.
If i had to guess this happens due to the tint expanding when it’s hot and shrinking when it’s cold leading to the adhesive failing in many different spots
I'm not sure, I didn't install just did the replacement.
Thats a good explanation though 👍🏾
@@FadeToBlackLLC Thanks
It happened to my 2020 after only 2 years of standard film on rear glass
Iv got alot of air bubbles on the tint of my back window,i was told by somebody if i heat or warmup with a hairdryer theyl flatten & rollout easily,is this correct? if i cant fix myself alternatively i may have to get redone,thanks,liked & subbed btw.
I don't know your situation to make an suggestion? Did you just have it done? Has it been with bubbles for a long time?
Bubbles is a pretty open statement.
Thanks for the Sub.. More content once it's not so crazy busy.
@@FadeToBlackLLC it got tinted 5+years ago now,i may have to pay n get redone unfortunately,thanks for replung
I have used Tint removal products before but I must say Awesome would have cute The time in half just have to pay attention how you spray it
I tried that and didn't do anything
I have a jug of it sitting here and I've tried with many removals and just doesn't do as well in my opinion.
The bubbles are caused from the frosting as u call over there the lines overwork when in use and cause the glue to lift
Thank you for sharing.
Nail polish remover is the best overrall!
That's a new one, I'll have to keep that in mind. Very strong stuff I know that much. Thanks for watching.
Does the removal damage the defrost lines?
It possibly can but most of the time I haven’t had any issues.
It’s a possibility though.
After tinting the windows and letting it dry for 3-4 days, I found some water bubbles. Can I still squeeze the water out or using the heat gun.
It can take weeks to fully evaporate. Make sure it’s moisture and not contaminate particles. I’d just leave it for at least two weeks then look at it. If it’s fine from a few feet away I would not worry about it. No one is supposed to have their face on your car.
Have you tried that Goof Off. Or Goo Gone. That stuff takes everything off. I’ll try next time too. If you do hope that helps.
I've tried it in the past for other stuff but I think you need something stronger for this type of glue.
I ordered more Super Stripper that stuff you can spray on, walk away and do other parts of the car and it's eaten away the glue. This day I only had the back window to replace.
Ive removed tint before but on my other vehicle, on the rear defroster window, its been a pain to remove since its cheap dyed film and its been coming off in small pieces, ive used both a steamer and a heat gun but still taking me hours to remove the tint, the adhesive is a piece of cake to remove but the tint isnt. Any ideas anyone ?
There's no easy way. You just keep working on it till you get it done. You saw this video, I tried everything I had.
Is it the defrosters that do that to it
I'm not sure
I have the same prob right now with the ugly bubbles. What's a reasonable price range for replacing just the back window like in this video?
Prices will vary but I'd say around $250. Call a couple shops in your area. It's a safety hazard not to mention how bad it looks.
@@FadeToBlackLLC thanks!
How can I get this super scraper
Search Tint Tools online.
I used a black trash bag and 409 to remove the tint. I used 409 and a green pad to remove the glue. You don’t need fancy steamers or obscure chemicals, just an ammonia based product.
Thanks for your comment.
Where can i get the super stripper from
I added a link in the description.
Where to buy a clay bar from and where to buy super stripper from.
I buy Super Stripper from Flexfilm Plus online store. Clay bar I think from Fusion Tools.
Hi! I’ve never messed with window tint before but I was wondering if I HAVE to put new tint on it? Or is it just a preference for some?
I'm not sure what your question is? No one had to Tint any vehicle, most people like the privacy and to be more comfortable in their vehicles as most of us commute and spend more time on the road these days.
I used that awesome stuff from dollar tree yesterday on my back window it was horrible after I removed the tint I sprayed the window good not to much and after 3 mins I used a rag and the glue came right off I was shocked I didn't even need to scrub. Try it!
Yes that is another product that works well too 👍🏾
My back window like this and the little windows next to rear windows is rippling
Time to get it fixed.
What's the name of the songs you used for this video?
Chartered Blue Steel....Don't Know Why....Full Metal Jacket...Saint Claire all from Epidemic Sound
@@FadeToBlackLLC Okay thanks! I actually use Epidemic Sound for my channel as well, keep up the good work man!
@@AngeloGiles cool I'll check out your Channel.
I usually use Trap beats for mine.
@@FadeToBlackLLC Aight cool thanks, I found your channel because I'm about to put 40% tint on my front windows, and wanted to see what it looked like, then I kept watching more of your vids lol. But my channel focuses on amusement parks, food, men's fragrances, and technology. But I will be starting a new automotive series soon!
@@AngeloGiles now that's what I like to hear. 👍🏾
Hit up The Home Depot and grab some 'ZEPS Floor Stripper' and watch that adhesive just run off the glass. Don't dilute it. Just pour into spray bottle, spray on, and let it sit for about one min. We know it really depends on what kind of film, how long its been on there, what solution was used to install.. but with this stuff, some adhesives will literally run off the glass.
I’ll try that! Thank you for the info!
My back window look like that now 🤦🏽♀️
Dang, you need to get that taken care of. Can't ride around like that. 😯
Mine was like that too. I just didn't want to lose my rear defogger. I had to choose between bubbles and defogger or clean tint. I chose the latter. I do miss my defogger though
Can’t believe you didn’t reverse roll on a saloon car?
Guess we just do it differently in the U.K.
That being said,great job sir.🙂
@@MansaX strange, I have my rear defogger and had tint for a year now with no bubbles
Hey that stuff works a lot better than a straight razor 😂. Razors also aren't kind to the defrosters. Might have to give it a try.
Yeah I didn't want to buy the customer a new glass ha ha
@@FadeToBlackLLC i use a nice single edge razor blade on my glass stove top and crefully get no scrathes but cooked on stuff comes off. it was the sun baking that made my hatchback tint bubble so ill maybe try covering with a sun shade after I get those bubbles out'
O man, what a nightmare! I HATE removals. I use the L.A Awesome and I agree. It's okay but not the greatest. Also, how long did it take you to remove all of it??
Longer than I wanted that's for sure! 😁
Wow, doing those rear windows, do you ever get back aches?
Just pace yourself. Take a break if needed but I can usually get them done in one shot. Thanks for watching.
You got lucky on that one those are super easy when they come of like that your lucky it didn’t break into tiny pieces
I’ve been there before. I’d almost want to just buy a whole new glass.
Try alcohol man, really good with sticky stuff even tree sap, it might work for you, i just used it today on my tinted tail lights that i replaced. that thing melts glue.
Thank you for that tip. I'll look into that 👍🏾
What did this end up costing?
I charged around $225 ish.
Reason why it do bubbles because the glue of the film is not strong enough or its a 1ply
I just got the car dropped off and I had no idea. I use 2ply film for my installs.
Sometimes caused from humidity in the trunk that’s what happened to mine after I cleaned the trunk and it sat in the sun
Interesting????
Supeerclean 50 water 50 cleaner works on everything.
Thanks for sharing that!
Bout to go check out a 2015 Chevy Sonic lt.. $3,999 asking price with 100,000 miles and back window looks like this. Ima talk em down $500-$1000 making sure they know its a driving hazard disaster waiting to happen. You cant see out that crap. Make em feel bad. Lol. Wish me luck brother! 🙏
You got it! So crazy I’ve been talking about a Sonic I’d like to have one as a zip around car.
I wish you could see mine. 😂 07 Civic
I'm assuming it must be baaaaad???
I figured it was from the years of defrosting...I need mine done badly. But I want them to put some plastic down to protect my speakers.
The shop most likely will try to protect your car. We don't want to have any damage and have to lose out paying for damaged parts. I'm sure you will be fine. I just replaced a back window this morning.
Rear defroster lines cause it
A lot of Ford Fusions rear windows are known to kill tint. Look at them when you drive around. It definitely must be something with the car.
Lacquer thinner gets the glue off instantly
Good to know. Being inside a vehicle I try not to use products that can cause damage to the panels. Even though I use towels etc you never know.
The reason the bubbles appear prematurely is from using the rear defroster. If the rear defroster was never used (unlikely) then it is from sitting in the sunlight/heat.
She said it was parked in the garage for the first while she had it. Then she had to park outside they started to pop up pretty quickly.
The heat from the defrost lines causes the tint to bubble up...
Some say it's adhesive failure with bad tint too. I'm not exactly sure but either way it's a pain to remove. Most people wait to long before they come in to get it replaced.
I have a much better way to remove it. The basic idea is using Super Strong chemical to penetrate the tint.
You need some old school paint remover, or you can mix 6 part of methylene chloride with 4 part of methanol. You need protection gear of these chemicals. You put a lot of them on the old tint. Wait for 10 min. The tint will come right off without any effort. Then, use acetone to remove the glue. Repeat the process above..
Reminder: any product contains Methylene Chloride will do the job. It can get the job done really fast. However, this is a highly toxic chemical. You have to wear protection gear to do the job.
You can pin this review.
Yeah no.
While this might seem like a good idea, it may be impractical in some situations. I’d also be careful with breathing in the fumes. I wonder how you apply acetone and paint remover tho
@@alanandrade2083 yep. I wear a gas mask and protection suit and gloves while working. The old school paint remover I got is gel-like. I cover everything I don't want to damage with multiple layers of plastic cover. Then, I use a cheap paint brush to cover all the tint with gel like paint remover. Waiting for 5-8min, I can use a plastic card to scrape off the tint very very very easily. Then I warp them in the plastic cover and throw everything away.
The last step is to use a towel wet with acetone to swipe out the remaining tint glue.
It is very time efficient if you have done it correctly.
@@alanandrade2083 yes it is a desperate solution. I spent a week slowly working with a heat gun only to peel off a small corner with a lot of let over. Using this chemical helped me finish this job in about 3 hours.
If you have the knowledge to handle chemicals, this will be your best choice.
Simple pink works great man
I get those windows all the time so I know I’ve done worse than that man
I'll have to try that one day.
Yes that works good and there is another one call 409 I think but the pick is great tho good stuff
@@TexasTint_Pro yep I've seen 409.
Now I'm curious to get a bunch of products and do a test🤔🤔🤔
There is a bunch there is one from fusion too the orange something too I have it at my shop but just in case I don’t use them a lot but yes I have lots of re do
@@TexasTint_Pro I've been doing more redos it seems every year. I don't have a ton but every now and then I just get a through them.
I definitely want to get more products and test. I just get through it for the most part and get done.
My 2013 Toyota Camry is twice as bad right now. What the heck can I do?!!
You have to get it removed. It can be a safety hazard not to mention how bad it looks.
I went with my gf to go look at this 1997 malibu she wanted. it has 102k miles and is prestine condition, I got the dude to give it to me for $2,000 because I convinced him it would cost thousands to fix the terrible tint job he had done lol. when this video helped me do it with ease. guy was asking like $4,500 for the car
Score!!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
The Bubbling is caused by Sulfate Oxidative Sun active Response and it's caused by fingerprints and or dust particles reacting with the adhesive and the sun... I'm a chemist 🧪 and the best Way to get it off is actually Regular 409 and or any Sulfa based degreaser or I like to use Greesed Lighting. After spraying the window fully in, cover with plastic even cheep garbage bags work once the degreaser is covered by the plastic fully! Leave the car out in the sun 🌞 for at least 3 hours and then the tint and! The glue will sluff off! REMEMBER to remove it slowly! AND if some glue sticks just use the Greesed lightning ⚡ full no dilution and it will come off after sitting another 20 to 30 minutes. And when I say comes off I mean with a dry rag or a roll of paper towels! Not 🚫 Steel Wool! Hope this helps? J.C.
Thanks for sharing your information!
@@FadeToBlackLLC your very welcome Bro. Also I forgot that the sufa with
Ammonia will be best at breaking down the old tint they work in tandem to liquefy any adhesive. Also if you're having trouble with those You can use straight lighting fluid for wood and charcoal it will liquefy any adhesive almost instantly. Just be sure to Not 🚫 get any on the plastics and or other interior of the vehicle. Then make sure to completely clean the Glass with auto glass cleaner after removing the adhesive,or it can damage the rear defrost lining! Happy Stripping!😉😎
I use a garbage bag. Squeegee it flat after spraying the window. Let the car run for about 20 minutes with the rear defogger on. Once the glass is hot, the film peels off along with the glue.
Thanks for the tip. Do you also get the car out in the sun? Usually here in Wisconsin the weather is all over the place so being inside out of the elements is best for me.
@FadeToBlackLLC If possible, yes. I also use a heat gun if the glass isn't warming up in areas that are away from the defogger lines. You're probably going to need to reset the defogger button once because it shuts off around 15 minutes. 20 minutes is usually long enough.
My tint is so old it separated the clear from the darker shade with adhesive
I've seen that happen too. Some just leave it on the car and don't bother which makes it harder to remove years later.
@@FadeToBlackLLC what would you recommend to remove it? Would ammonia and a plastic razor remove it without damaging the defroster?
It's a glue failure, lot's of Plp think it's bc of the installer NO it's the company that made the tint
If the bubbles only formed along the defroster lines. I would say, the defroster is the cause. But it doesn’t. 😞
Not really sure but I just use the products I have. Thankfully I haven’t had one this bad in a long time.
They have that goof off in a can from Home Depot.
Gotcha. Good to know. Thanks.
I just bought an integra and my back windshield looks just like that
It's probably going to be a pain to remove it all. Good luck.
@@FadeToBlackLLC i tried and caved in and getting it professionally done on the 29th
I have the same problem with my bank window.
Time to get it fixed.
I had tint bubble like that after carrying a propane tank in my car to get filled.
Thats crazy because I carry them a lot for my grill and I’ve never seen that?
@@FadeToBlackLLC Maybe it is time to replace my tanks? Haha
Regular rubbing alcohol gets it off
Thanks for the tip. I'll try that one of these days too.
Denatured alcohol. Pour on a rag and wipe it all off.
Thank you maybe I’ll give it a shot one day.
Oh btw this happens alot with cheap film! This is probably that $99 for the whole car no warranty job. Either the cheap glue is falling or the ink is falling. That's why people should buy the better option with a lifetime warranty. Which by the way cover bubbling and color stable. Some companies say lifetime which in tint world means 10 to 15yrs or original owner😂.
I hear you. For some reason it was only the back glass the rest were fine. Who knows I just did what the customer asked.
@@FadeToBlackLLC it's the The angle of the back window because it gets hit by the sun more but surely the rest will follow. Also the heat from the defroster plays a roll just like a steamer help remove tint the defroster heat up and cool down the back window with steam building up.
Well there goes the rear defroster.
Still worked when it left the garage, thanks for your comment.
Mine lookin like that too and I cant see shit out of them
Time to get it fixed.
My back window looks like this...
Might be time to fix it. Could be a safety hazard when you can’t see out of it.
I would trap the chemical in with a garbage bag so it doesn't evaporate. Do some other work for a couple hours. Then it's much easier to remove. The epitome of work smarter not harder.
I did this when it was cold outside but I've heard of the Trash bag method. That might have worked better. Thanks for the tip.
Mines worse can’t see a thing
I guess it's long overdue for removal. It might be a safety hazard at this point?
