Default Quick Question

While this isn't really a Neon-specific question, I figured this is still a good a place as any to ask:

Does anyone know a quick and easy way to get that tint film out of windows? The car I picked up the other day has this strip across the top of the windshield that just looks ugly, one of the glass quarterpanels is peeling at the bottom, and the rear window is too dark (PA has really strict laws about window tint in cars, and the cops around here hate college students with a passion)

I realize scraping it out would work, of course, but I was wondering if anybody had any tips or knew something that made the job alot easier.

If it is peeling use ammonia on the glue, it will dissolve the glue. windex has ammonia also.

Wal-Mart sells a solution that is supposed to dissolve the glue. Never tried it though...

Best of luck!

Just pull it off and use something to get the glue off.

Its a PITA usually. Peel it off with a razor, fingers, whatever. Then get the glue. I can usually get it goin with my fingers, then use goo gone to get the glue off.
