Window Tinting Removal : Why Not To Wait To Replace Your Car's Window Tint Why should you not wait to replace your car’s window tint? The truth is that when your car’s window tint starts to age, it does not provide you with the privacy or protection that you need, and could even become an issue to the safety of your driving. The Vegas sun can be brutal on anything made of plastic, including your window tint. If you have started to see cracks, peeling, or bubbles developing in your tint than it is time to have removed and replaced. Another reason why you might need to replace the tint on your car’s windows is if you have recently moved to Nevada from another state. Unlike some other states in the country, Nevada law regarding tinting is very strict, and law enforcement agencies have a zero tolerance policy on non-compliance.

When Removing Auto Window Tint The Right Process is Important

No matter why you need to replace the tint on your vehicle’s windows it’s important that the old tint is removed properly before the application of any new tint. Failure to do this could lead to the failure of the new tint either during the installation process or even after. Failure to use a proper and methodical process to remove the old tint can lead to possible breakage or scaring of the glass as well. The proper procedure is the one we have always used:

Inspect the vehicle to ensure that full access to the glass surfaces can be attained easily
Remove any trim panels that are necessary
Protect any surrounding surfaces
Loosen any edges with a non-scratching plastic razor blade
Use a high temp steamer to heat the adhesive holding the film to the glass and gently peel it away
Use a special adhesive remover to take off any remaining glue
Take special care when removing tint from glass that has embedded electronic sensors, heaters, or antennas. In this case, advanced techniques must be used.
