Removing tint...How much? Should I do it myself?
The person who tinted my window put 35 on the doors and 20 in the back. I don't like the look of this. Plus, the jacka$$ cut the tint around my 3rd brakelight as opposed to tinting beneath it. I know, I am the jacka$$ as I should have had him redo it at that time. He is now out of business and so I am in search of someone to remove just the back window tint and reapply it in 35. I called one place and they were going to charge $110 to peel and reapply the back window. Is this reasonable? Has anyone removed the tint themselves?

I don't think I'll do that myself being I'm so impatient. I need to get my tint changed from my puppy biting the rear windows. they quoted me 160 though so if they are charging 110 then maybe I should look for a better deal.

$110 is reasonable. Pay for them to do it. Not only is it the biggest HASSEL EVER to get the tint off, if you dont do a good enough job, when they retint it will look awful. I did the EXACT same thing on my car and was quoted 100-150 by the people who cut around my brake light in the first place...
Im gonna do it but I dunno if I wanna go 35 on the back window. I have 35 on all 4 doors and 5 on the back. I think 35 on the back will barely even look tinted. If you do this soon - TAKE PICS.

Too bad you guys don't live near me. qualitywindowtints.com did mine. And the guy likes my sister so he hooks me and my buddies up. I asked him how much to take off the front tints and re apply a darker shade. He told me $50.00

I had tints in all 4 doors but I had to remove it since I got pull over by fu**** NJ cops and I used the Orange oil spray that usually pepboys sell . That spay romoves all of it. Just spray it as you are romoving it and eventually all comes off. Eventought I am thinking that I am going to tint them again and F*** the cops.

get a stainless steel blade to remove the side windows because that wont scratch ur glass. Start in the middle and work your way out try to cut into it at a angle and get big pieces. And sweat the tint off the back glass. Put a garbbage on the outside of the back glass and spray the inside where the tint is with some simple pink or a amonia based solution cover that with another garbbage bag on the inside and put it in the sun for a couple of hours and it all should come out with little mess. I tint homie

dont try this at home!
DO NOT remove it yourself!DO NOT put a razor to the back glass!you will DEFINETLY cut a defrost line.i've been tinting for over 20yrs.best way,if your going to do it yourself,is to steam it.if you dont have a steamer then peal the film off the window,get soapy solution or windex then get super fine stealwool and scrub!any questions call me 9176864733

Pay a pro. After you spend two afternoons trying to remove the rear tint and you still mess up the defroster, you'll wish you'd have just paid the money for someone else to do it. been there, done that.
