Default Tint Removal

Hi everyone,

Quick question... Do any of you have any experiences with having window tint removed? I am looking at a vehicle that has an after market job which I do not care for.

Can a good tint shop remove it and not damage the rear defrost in the back glass and not leave glue on the windows. Am I taking a risk that there could be some permanent damage if I go ahead with this?

Thanks!

There is always a risk..

I tried it myself once and ended up destroying the rear window defogger, and my friends who helped me ended up scratching the crap out of the glass...

I'd recommend leaving it to a pro to do...
