How Much Does It Cost To Have Window Tint Removed

11-25-2003,03:fifteen PM

My wife has a 91 Accord Wagon with a `terrible` tint task on all just the front windows. I took it past a shop in boondocks and they wanted $180 to remove it!! Seems WAY as well high to me. I`d rather not do it myself (no time), but if it`due south going to price that much.....

How much should a shop charge for the removal? Seems to me under $100 at least....

I`m in Petaluma CA if anyone knows of whatever shops that would do a decent task.

Thanks....

If you`ve ever attempted to remove window tint yourself, you wouldn`t want to do it over again for $m. I`m sure you`ve heard the term, "Stuck like gum." If your Accord has a rear window defroster, that just adds to the difficulties of removing old tint.

Usually costs $100, but might exist cheaper if you lot are getting it re-tinted at the place

Have you tried a razor scraper, it`due south not THAT difficult to remove yourself.

It depends on where you go. I just had the tint removed of my driver and passenger front doors and had new tint applied. It toll me 30 bucks per window to accept it done. My existing tint wouldn`t pass state safety inspection then I had to get it removed. Merely call around to dissimilar tint shops and ask them. They only charged me 5 bucks to remove it per window and then its not that expensive I guess. Information technology normally costs about $150-$200 or so to become 4 windows and a rear windshield tinted. Add probably some other 25 bucks or something for removal and at that place you lot have it.

Do information technology yourself, it is not difficult. But apply a precipitous razor and lots of soap.

Although I`ve never tried it, it would seem a steam cleaner would exist the perfect tool for this task.

I used a steamer, like the one you employ to steam atomic number 26 clothes, to remove the tint off a honda accord. I charged $sixty and it wasn`t too hard at all. It just takes some patience. I borrowed the steamer from a cousin so that didn`t cost me annihilation. I didn`t even have to get back over the windows to remove any glue. Came off all at once. Information technology`southward a sweet bargain if you can get a agree of one. Well, good luck.

I`ve washed it one fourth dimension and I`ll never do information technology again. The side windows on the driver`s side were relatively easy, the windows on the passenger side and rear window were a freakin` nightmare. If the tint comes off in strips, no problem, but when it comes off in petty flakes, you lot are going to exist there all solar day.

I took it off my 2 door windows and holy poop what a chore... came off in a tint sheet .. glue didn`t .. what a mess to go off .. I`d never practise it for someone else.

With a steamer wouldn`t yous exist nervous about heating the glass too much in ane spot and stress cracking it?

Goo Gone and a razor blade makes quick work of tint agglutinative. You can choice it up at any KMart - Walmart, ect. Also grab a widgit while you`re there. It makes holding the razor blade a lot easier. Switch to a hard plastic scrapper for rear windows with a defroster. Cutting it to width betwixt the wires go side to side, not over the wires. If you cut or break a wire at minimum that wire volition not work and information technology might impale the whole affair. Defrosters can exist repaired with metal paint if you can locate the break.

Didn`t have a problem with the steamer any. Information technology worked like a charm, didn`t harm the defroster lines in the rear window, and no glue rest to remove either. I never thought nearly causing whatever damage to the drinking glass from all the heat. Doesn`t the surface of a motorcar get god awful hot, say in the middle of the summer in Arizona or some place similar that. I alive in Florida and my silverish car volition go prohibitively hot to the touch on during the summer.

I don`t know for sure that the staem wouldn`t cause any swell then peradventure someone who knows best could chime in.

By the way I got this hint off a window tinting website that had some diy info. It was a link off this forum from a while back.

My posting about stress was just that .. quickly heating a small area and causing a stress crack considering that area expands and the the residue of the window doesn`t.

I did this once and will never do information technology over again.

I talked to my tinter (has done my unabridged family`s cars + my friends too) and asked him near removing information technology. He said he uses a professional spray that eats up the glue, but is condom on the remainder of your interior. I would check your professional detailing supplier and ask them for suggestions or call a tinter/car audio retailer to ask for what they do.

Proficient Luck.
