I am a believer, steam those tints off!

Ok, to avoid any further conflicts I will address the Tint\s as window film

Paul is that you?

Any excuse to post pics:

Yep- Paul here.

Wow man- the car looks great. Very nice stance.

Which wheels are those?

Thanks Paul, Tru Design Wheel 17 x 8 and 17 x 9.5. Jim over there can work wonders with your Fuchs. Let me know if you have any plans to visit Frank.
Thanks,

Love seeing all the family cars parked together there! Cute

They did not laugh at me at the garage today, in fact, they were impressed at how quickly & easily the steamer worked, and how good the glass looked overall. I'm going to borrow a tiny mini steamer wand from a friend, and next chance I get, I'll hit that spot with some Windex, and use the little wand which should fit back there fine, and clean up a couple of little stray spots and it'll be 100% good to go.

I had thick fog and torrential rain to deal with on my drive home tonight, and I really appreciated the vastly improved visibility all around. Yay!

I applied the steam until the tint was good and soggy and starting to loosen, then I started digging a little with a fingernail in the top corner of the window where it meets the (A?) pillar, feeling for a loose spot. I had no trouble at all working up a bit of the edge to grab, and once I had it, the rest came up in a single sheet, just a couple of tiny spots of glue residue left behind which, with a little more steam, wiped right off. I kept the steam going as I worked, and mostly peeled the tint material back on itself, rather than pulling it away from the window. The side and wing windows took me less than a minute each from first application of steam to tint-free, clean window.
