In order to ensure your car windows are safe and free from damage, it is important to remove any existing window tint. There are several reasons why you may want to remove the existing window tint from your vehicle such as fading or bubbling of the film, discoloration, or if you just want a new look for your car. The steps involved in removing old window tint involve cleaning the glass surface first before attempting to peel off the existing film. Exercising care is essential when employing any implements, such as razor blades or heat guns, while taking off the old tinting to avert scratches on the window and further harm.



When removing old window tint, one should always wear protective gloves and eyewear while performing this task. Using a razor blade scraper with a plastic card is an effective way of peeling away layers of old film without damaging the glass surface underneath. If there are stubborn areas that won’t come off easily then applying some heat with either a hair dryer or heat gun will help loosen up these spots for easier removal. However, be sure not to overheat these areas as this could result in cracking of the glass surface beneath which would require professional repair work afterwards.
