- Wed Apr 07, 2010 11:12 pm #186193 use a household cleaner with ammonia like windex. spray the window down and place a thick black trash bag over it. it should stick to the soaked window. do this on a hot day and give it like 15 min to evaporate. the back will force the ammonia to go through the tint and will lift the glue. it should just peel off. i just did mine nd it worked great. no razor blades or ruined interior. :thumb:
