| 784308 | 2009-06-21 07:09:00 | that window tint film you buy from a car part shop, is it removable and how does it stick to the window? | lance4k (4644) | ||
| 784309 | 2009-06-21 07:49:00 | It has a sticky surface and is positioned using soapy water | ooh yeh (2935) | ||
| 784310 | 2009-06-21 15:45:00 | Removable? Yes with a lot of effort, but it can be removed . The "glue" on it is activated by the sunshine (mostly) and just keeps the air out from underneath it, making it much more impossible to remove . Do NOT use products with ammonia in them (spray window cleaners) to locate the film, as they render the glue ineffective and turn it into a jelly . Liquid dish soap is about the best to use . And add some "No-Tears" baby shampoo for extra slipperiness . NOTE: avoid using degreasing detergents to make the solution or the film may dry cloudy or fail to adhere . Make sure that the glass is squeaky clean and cool - don't do this in the sun or on a frozen surface or if the air outside is cold enough to freeze water . Been there - etc . YouTube Instructional video ( . wonderhowto . com/how-to/video/how-to-install-window-tint-102479/" target="_blank">www . wonderhowto . com) Written instructions are available via "Googling" for them . |

| 784311 | 2009-06-22 03:01:00 | thanks guys. i was looking at tint film at the shop and it said it's 5%. on the ltsa website it says a minimum of 35% VLT is legal. So how do i know what the VLT of the film is and how many meters to cover all windows? | lance4k (4644) | ||
| 784312 | 2009-06-22 05:00:00 | why not just call into one of the tinting shops. much better range of tints, professional fitting and they know the rules. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 784313 | 2009-06-22 05:08:00 | My son's car failed it's wof. One problem was the tint on the rear side windows was too dark. We used a glass scraper to lift an edge and slowly pulled it all off. Some parts needed an extra scrape. Then cleaned the old adhesive with turps. My friendly garage had a sample of the 35% tint. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 784314 | 2009-06-22 09:23:00 | Heat it with a hair dryer when removing. Much easier | Phil B (648) | ||
