My wife wanted me to let you know that this worked great. She doesn't have a CZcams login so I told her I'd comment for her. Thanks again.
You are a genius! I am a "woman of a certain age" and I was able to do this on the back passenger windows and the back glass of our new-to-us Honda Civic. I feel invincible! Also, relieved. My husband and I are still keeping Covid-safe and I was dreading taking it to a shop to have it done. Plus, it was free! I feel like we should send you flowers or something! Can't thank you enough.
Excellent advice - removed 16 yo tint on rear window (with defroster lines) of 2007 Mazda 3 sedan using this method. Came off in one easy process. Used my digital thermometer and measured the temperature after 20 minutes in the sun as 60C (140F) and it just pulled straight off (time had obviously split the tint on two defrost lines, so needed to restart from the edge at those points to remove as I worked across the window) with no glue remaining. Saved a lot of hassle. Lots of others on CZcams advise the same method, but this from a professional gave me confidence to attempt. Thank you so much.
The black trash bag stuck to the window absorbs and holds the heat, which evenly heats up the glue in the tint film and that is why it peels so even and easily.
yea i watched the video to
😂
What if the tint has bubbles, will this method work just he same or do we approach it differently, thanks
@johnjkizer6399 Good question
@@percsfn1133 Lol. Yet someone did say an explanation of why it works would be nice.
Unbelievable! Very easy. First installer I called to have it removed spent 5 minute screaming at me how hard it was to do and that he would have to charge $250-$300. This took minutes. Thanks so much
Yelling at a customer and charging that much? I got 2 windows and back windshield done for 350 and that included removal of the old back windshield. Probably best to give that guy a negative review
Worked like a charm...husband is always a skeptic w/me and my "tasks" but it surprised him how easy it was and in case you don't have black trash bags....white bags works too!
I am going to try it .Have to remove my ft side tint per Iowa. wish me 🍀 luck
Thanks for the step-by-step instructions, Patrick. I was able to take the tint off without any issues. This works perfectly!
Glad it helped
I just bought a used Honda Pilot online and I did not notice the 7-8 inch dark window tint on the front windshield. Didn’t want to go the heat gun and razor route so I’m glad I saw this video. 10 minutes to get everything together, cut and place black plastic. Waited 30 minutes and then it only took 5 minutes to peel. Amazingly easy. Perfect video and great method.
Freakin awesome 😮
Thank you so much. The back window on my mums car had an old tint which was impairing visibility. I admit to being sceptical but this method worked brilliantly. It was for once a sunny day in Ireland so was able to follow this method - worked like a dream. Was left with adhesive on the window but some nail polish remover took care of that. Thanks for sharing!!
I probably should have mentioned what to do if adhesive was left behind! Good idea for the next version
I rarely leave comments on CZcams. But this method worked like a charm! Was done with it in 40mins and saved me $50. Thank you!
It worked! Thank you! Back window way way to dark, removed, yesterday i was a mechanic, removing wheel bearings, today a Window tinter,
Excellent instructions, worked for me. Amateur Tip: Measure the windows, make sure the plastic bags you get are large enough... I bought 30 gallon black bags (don't use white like others have demonstrated), 30 gallon bags were too small. Had to get 39 gallon lawn and leaf bags to fit my window. Also, the blade that I bought fresh from HD had a serrated edge like a bread knife!? never seen that, thought they were all smooth bladed! (the serrated edge made trimming away excess bag a PITA - so get the right blade.) Did it during a sunny 92 degree NY scorcher, this probably helped, used plenty of soapy spray on windows. One of my cutouts fell a bit short in a corner, and the bag/film had a few minor bubbles in a few spots, but after smoothing the bags as best I could (using small window film tool), waiting the suggested 15-20 minutes, and getting an edge started with my fingernail, they all came off nice and clean, barely any glue leftover, minor glue residue easily handled by windex and a razor blade. I was a bit skeptical/cautious, so I did the front set first, but then quickly confidently did the rear ones. Thanks for posting these great instructions!!! Just saved me $200, some of which will go towards the violation I got for having over dark tint! (the car came with the dark tint from another state, hated to remove it, but don't need the hassle...) ☮❤
Did it with my truck and works 💪. Awesome you just help save some money to get it retint.
It really works!!! Took me a few minutes and it came off in one piece!
I am like the others. I rarely leave YT comments but this worked exactly as your video showed. I had some windows that looks slightly "foggy" after the removal; however, I took a paper towel and my nail polish remover and glided over it and they were crystal clear. Used a spray bottle with plain water that I use to spray my hair with right off my dresser and it was enough 'spritz" to make the garbage bag stick. I didn't even cut my garbage bags pretty; I just made sure they were fitted over the window and overlapped. Use the ice scrapper that came with my freezer to tuck it around to get the tint that was up and inside the window frame seals. You made this super easy! It is USA-SC weather; so didn't even take but 10 minutes to let that car get hot inside and those bags to heat up the glue & release it!!
So glad this was helpful to you! ❤️
I did this over 4 years ago in my yard but I didn't use water and no cutting. Just put the bags over the windows and let sit for an hour or 2 in the sun. Easy peezy but, I did like your method trimming the bags to overlap the windows 💯
Thanks for the great tutorial. In my case it was a cloudy day and I used a heat gun to warm up the window. Worked perfectly, no residue left behind and the tint came off in one piece.
Did your old tint that you remove have any bubbles ? Thanks
Heat gun on the inside or the outside?
I was amazed at how well this worked in the hot summer sun - came off mostly clean and perfect. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! Tint came off clean and easy. So relieved.
This was so easy to do. Let it sit in the sun for 20 minutes and it came right off...Thanks a ton
Your directions are beyond excellent. I bought a slightly used Honda Passport with front windows so tinted it was hard to see out at night. Your procedure worked perfect. Great video. Thanks.
This was so easy to do. I can't believe I almost paid $180 for it!
glad it helped!
Just tried it today on a hot 103F Texas day for 30 minutes and it peeled right off! Thanks again!
This worked great!!! Started on a cold day in Tampa.....didn't work that good!! Waited a couple days and it was near 80!!! Did both front windows on a Honda Civic and a Ford F150 in under 1 hour!!! Thanks for saving me some money!!
Cold 🤔 We wish it was cold here in 305 954 FLORIDA
Glad I stumble on this video. Save me time and money. Thanks!
Thank you. Just did my car! This saved me a few hundred dollars. My first try didn't come off cleanly, but the 3 other, rear and 1/4 windows did!
What a great way. Never thought it could be done that way. Ingenious! Awesome man!
Mind blown! Thanks for the pro tip.
Your tutorial is great. I was about to tear off my Front windshield film and immediately took action after watching your video. The sun was very strong at noon in the summer, so I covered it with black plastic bags and waited 20 minutes ,and then it only took 5 minutes to peel. it was very easy and complete to tear off without any residue of adhesive. That's just great! Thank you for sharing!
Nice and easy video. Love your passion for tinting.
Great video. Really helpful and A LOT easier than I was expecting. Thank you.
It works! It's actually much less complicated than it looks. I used clear trash bags and a pair of scissors, not precisely at all.
This method worked perfectly! Thanks for sharing. You definitely saved me some money!
This worked great, simple & easy
Thank you, you help save some money. I followed your instructions and it came out perfect.
Great instructor step by step information as what we needed. Thanks 😊😊😊😊
Brilliant! Thanks for the video!
Imagine paying $150.00 to $200.00 to do what you just showed us. Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Too late....
And they messed my defrosters up!😡
Great video and made it easy! Thanks for sharing!
Super video, gonna try it on my vw beetle. The tint on it is lumar and has been on the car for 17 years. Many years ago I had used kleenex tissue that had menthol and lotion to wipe down the condensation on the driver and passenger window. After a few hours, the tint had blurred and had a texture like fine sandpaper. Got a quote of 300 to remove the tint and 400 to put tint on. This video was super great. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video, can't wait to give this technique a try
Great video! Thank you! It worked like a charm!
Thank you! I only had white kitchen bags and they worked! The part that
Didn’t have the bag on it, left Glue residue. And so easy! 😊❤
I had a buddy who took off his tint this way about 10 years ago. I forgot if he did the bag on the outside or inside. Great video with great tips. This is the only way to remove IMO, thanks. 99% of the other videos are the OG heat guns and razor method which is fine but those videos shouldn't be more than 3 mins long 🙄
I’ll remove my windows tinted tomorrow using your ingenious trash bag. Love ❤️
Thank you so much for this!
Worked perfectly 🤯🤯🤯 can’t believe how easy this was saved myself $200🤝
Great video can’t wait to try it on my 2006 mustang rear window thanks!
Thank you ! Thank you Thank you! For posting this for us DIYers I was quoted $275 to remove the tint from my windows Looked at a bunch of videos, yours seemed to be the easiest so I tried it and it worked! Took me all of 45 minutes to remove tint from 4 windows and all the glue came off with the tint Thanks again
glad it worked out!
Wow Worked great! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the info! Going to try this on home windows
Just did this on the rear window of corvette, worked perfectly
Painless! great video!!!
Amazing video, thanks for creating it!
This was awesome. I used heavy duty black trash bags. Water alone didn’t work, but I did it with soapy water, and that made them stick.
Thanks. Makes me confident to try it and save money
Killer tip, thanks!!!
You are the best my friend ❤
Thank you so much. You saved my money.
Thanks for the tutorial. This is really helpful. I bought an older Kia Picanto for running around town but the other day I took it on a long trip and noticed looking through the front windshield the far distance seems shimmering (like in the desert). I'm pretty certain that the tint isn't original as I can see some fish mouths around the corners. No way that's from the car maker. Here in Indonesia we get a lot of inferior products that are dirt cheap so I'm guessing that's the deal here. The tint doesn't look old and it's pretty dark. I bought the car from a young guy and he only had it a couple of years so I'm guessing the film isn't very old. So my question is should I treat this like the back window or are there other issues with front windshields I need to be aware of?
Thx for sharing this. I have to remove the 4 yr old tint in my car for it to pass the strict MA. state inspection. I think mine is darker than their minimum required 35 pct.
No way this is happenin in "less than 20 mins" but aside from that excellent information and thanks. Glad you lured my in with the title and worth the click.
After you cut the bags and put them on the car only needs 20 mins in the sun. Granted it needs to be a clear and hot day.
Thanks for great informative video. Really appreciated for let me saved $ 75 Dollars .🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️
First things first...THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! Second, how hot does it have to be outside for this to work?
God bless you! I get it now will be doing this asap!
Thank you for the instructions. The film came off clean. I used window cleaner just because it was in a spray bottle😊.
Love it thank you , I trust you ile do it how you did it weather permits
Impressive 👍
Ty very much for share knowledge
Great video
Can I use a hairdryers to heat up the window since it’s not that hot
It works so well
It works great 👍🙏🏻
you are awesome, thank you.
Great job
Great video, I can do that instead of paying 200 for removal. Thank you so much
Fantastic! Do you use any waiver for the back windshield removal due to the sensitivity of the defroster strips possibly getting damaged?
I shouldn't have no problem with heat here in Texas. Thanks for the tip.
Amazing.. im going to try
Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this video sir works like a sharm.
Thank you 😊.
Tank you for the tip
Some sort of Tool...
Some sort of degreaser...
Very helpful.....
Thank you !
How can you do this in the winter? You said a few times to leave it overnight and use a steamer. So I would put on the trashbags and leave it overnight, I get that. But what about the steamer? Can you explain how I use the steamer? Do I use it to heat the windows from the outside? Not quite sure. Thanks in advance for addressing this.
Will this still work in the winter months on overcast days?
Thanks for the video. My tint was put on when my car was new in 2009. The bubbles had become crazy and were affecting my view out the rear window. I was able to remove the film and thought the adhesive had come off too but it wasn't so. I have used "Goof Off" to remove the adhesive and then windex. The Goof Off had seemed to work but I'm having to clean several times and there is still streaking. Not sure if it's the Goof Off or adhesive that is being stubborn. I will continue to work on it but am nervous about using a razor blade because of the defogger wires.
Try alcohol!
I'm trying to remove the trunk window tint off my Tesla cause the window has a stress crack. Do you have any additional tips for that?
Thanks 👍
No problem 👍
Thanks for the video, Patrick. I have two questions, if you please:
1. Do you recommend a minimum temp range, e.g., ambient temp when you recorded this?
2. For a pro tint applier with skills, how much time did the the whole process for side windows & back windshield require (including bake times)? I'd estimate it would double for the entire car, then another 2.5x - 3x the "🤬🤬" for the amateur factor (based on my personal experience with other auto finish work).
I'm trying to determine if it's worth my time to possible purchase a used car with tints & bring it to NYS, which has laws regarding maximum tint gradient.
Thanks for the video!
¡Paz!
That is a game changer for me
THANK YOU
Will spraying additional water where the edge of the tint sheet and glass meet (hot water of course maybe with the baby shampoo) be of any help when pulling the sheet off by helping keep the glue moist?
Soap added to keep the water viscous longer and help with dispersal and adhesion to the glass and vinyl bond zone.
That’s so cool!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Trash bag worked perfectly . I used windex and just sprayed while pulling...took off visor to...bag stuck to liquid
Good method. Only really doable in a country with sun, ie not the UK in January!
Leave it overnight then use a steamer
Can we use heat gun instead of steamer after leaving the bin bag overnight? Don't have the steamer or can use the car's own windscreen heat method if possible. I'm trying to remove chameleon tint. Thank you - from Manchester, UK @@WindowTintingBusiness
I'm in Michigan. It's going to be cloudy and 40° for a high tomorrow. Might try the space heater with all the windows closed inside like somebody recommended. Don't know if that will do the same thing or not as parking it in the sun
Did it work?
just saw your video, great process, but how would you remove the window tint if it's just a partial on the front windshield"
nice, just bought a van today and the tint was so dark i couldn't use mirrors to back up. give this a go tomorrow
Will this work during the winter?
So I live in NY. I have to wait until the summer to do this? SMH
