Window tint glue

[Kansas farmer]

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.

Prep sol, lacquer thinner type of solvents should cut the glue.

[Freightrain]

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.

Was told by friend that owns glass shop they use denatured alcohol; with lots of rubbing & razor blades

Iv used rubbing alcohol and a new razor blade. Comes off great.

windex and a new razor blade.

spray the windex on, let it sit and do it's thing for 15-20 minutes and then scrape off with the razor.

keep it wet and wipe the razor off on a paper towel or rag frequently to keep the edge clean.

Thanks for the replies. I'll give it a go when I have the truck in the shop.

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.

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 surfaces

And use gloves

And it smells good if you like citrus and it's natural

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

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.
