How to Remove Old Window Tints

Custom window tints have become widely popular in the Nevada area over the last 10 years. There are many reasons for this and many benefits of custom window tints: they keep your car cooler in the Las Vegas summer, they give you added privacy and also protect the interior of your car from damaging UV rays. But, after years of use, window tints need to be removed from your vehicle and replaced. This can prove difficult, depending on the type of adhesive that was used during installation. This process is not generally seen as a “do-it-yourself” project and it can be time intensive and very tedious. Generally, it is best for this to be handled by professionals experienced with window tint removal so that your car is not damaged during the process.

Window Tint Removal Process

The first thing that our crew will do is a thorough inspection of your vehicle to be sure that we can remove the tint safely without damaging your car. We remove any parts of your car that are in the way of the removal (interior trim panels, door panels, deck lid and/or interior trim). Then, we use a razor blade and a special steamer to soften the glue and carefully remove the tint from the windows. After this part of the process is finished, we carefully inspect the car for any excess glue residue. If the glue has embedded itself into the pores of the glass, it is possible that the entire window will have to be replaced.  In these situations, we will be in touch with you to discuss all possible replacement options.

Team Acme’s Pricing for Window Tint Removal

It is difficult for us to give an exact estimate of the cost of window tint removal. There are so many factors that are specific to the job, like how long it takes to remove the excess glue from the windows and how much time the process will take our crew. To be sure that we treat all of our customers fairly, we usually set an hourly rate and a cap so that you know the highest amount you will have to pay. On average, a window tint removal job costs between $50-$150 as long as window replacements are not needed.
