Harps Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hey all My drivers-side rear quarter window is covered with a sticker, I assume one to black out the windows. Its the only one on any of the windows of the car, so its more than a little annoying. Anyone got any tips on getting it off? My best guess is to use a hair dryer to warm it up, loosen the adhesive and peel it off, then use something like white spirit to get rid of whats left of the adhesive on the window. Any better ideas? Cheers Harps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 sounds like a grand idea to me....is the sticker on the inside or outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harps Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Inside, its already begun to peel away in the centre so I don't think it'll be too difficult. Though I'm not 100% sure I want to be splashing white spirit around in my Soop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 correct, use a very small amount of white spirit if any is needed at all. doesn't sound like it'll take much to remove it to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dublin Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 doesn't sound like it'll take much to remove it to be honest. That's what I thought removing window tint film from the rear 3/4 window of a Puma... took hours. Eventually used petrol on a rag (*carefully!*) but it took a fair bit of elbow grease. End result was good tho, like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I removed my front window tints last weekend. Took the blade out of a stanly knife, carefully picked away at the edges and the whole lot came off in one piece! No white spirits needed Then i scraped all the adheasive stuff off the window being careful not to scratch it of course! Took me about 40 mins to do both windows. After that i was bored and decided to buy some new front speakers as my standard 14 year old ones had kinda fallen to pieces inside the door! hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
