    Tint film removal

    The tint on the rear window of one of my cars has bubbled and looks bad.

    Anyone know how to remove it other than having the window replaced ?

    Thanks.

    Warming it with a hairdryer may also work.

    The WD40 will also make removing the adhesive easy once the film is off.

    Remember - no sharp points/edges near the heating element Tint film removal

    Take it into a tinter - I assume you want a new piece of tint and they will take the old piece off and put on a new piece for not a lot of money.
