It's off topic, but how do I remove window film from my front windows
and windshield? Figuring it's car-related and a lot of us have I hope that some here may have tried it before and might have some advice. Thanks in advance. Eric G. |

A bottle of Windex or whatever else you use to clean your windows with and
then a couple of brand new razor blades. Oh ya. And some time because that is what it will take you in order to get the glue off. -- Pat M "Ericfg" wrote in message oups.com...

Well, a trick with removing wallpaper is to use water and hairdryers to make
the glue sticky again and then the wallpaper just peels off in sheets. I wonder if that will work with this glue. Since a windshield is DESIGNED to get wet, perhaps not.

Once you peel of a corner off the tint will just pull off, you will get some
glue on your window that will come off with soap water and a razor blade. Back widows with defroster lines are a whole different story.

Actually, fabric softener is great for taking off wallpaper... soak it into a sponge, spread on wallpaper... soaks through and loosens the glue nicely. Won't work with tint though, I suspect. |
