Kansas farmer Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Does anybody know an easy way to get dried on tint glue off a window. The tint came off now I just have a dirty looking window that I can't hardly see out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75T Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Prep sol, lacquer thinner type of solvents should cut the glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yup. Even goo be gone or whatever it is at the store. Just something to cut it. I even use a razor blade to help scrape it up.

Vladislav Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I've got some experience with different films.Some of them went off clean resting about no glue on the window.Some kept traces wich I had luck removing with paint thinner and just a cloth.But once I got to ride off the tint film on my own vehicle and had almost the whole layer of glue on it.I tried to rub it off using everything starting from gasoline and after an hour of work removed the glass, put a cloth on its full surface, penetrated well with thinner and put into the plastic bag for overnight. Next day the glue became much softer and I fought it over with good amount of thinner and clothes. I took something like 40 minutes though and the other side window was just swapped with the already clean one.So much depends of a kind of film applied and you never know how it would go until start.

harrybarbon Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Try the concentrated orange citrus spray, spray on let soak in for few minutes and clean off per instructions - it will remove most glues, even silicon - put a thick cloth under the window so it does not damage any other surfacesAnd use glovesAnd it smells good if you like citrus and it's natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlotpilot Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 fastest way i know of is a rubber eraser wheel in a slow turning drill motor no chemicals the wheels are around $12.00 at most body shop supply houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas farmer Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Well I had the truck in today and went digging in the cabinets and found some 3M adhesive remover. Tried it on the tint glue and it worked great. Probably only took me 15 or 20 minutes to get the window clean. Wiped it on with a rag then used a razor blade.
