my car is currently tinted with what i believe to be 35% tint. this is too light for me. how much do u think it would cost to retint the car? is it possible to remove the tint from the rear window without messing up those defogger and antenna lines?

thanks in advance,
Chris

It is possible to remove the rear tint without removing defroster lines. Do a search for it.

As for the price, it depends in your local area. In PA, i've had it done for 150 w/lifetime warranty.

they might charge you an extra $25 to remove your old tint

DIY. I did a search and it seems the quickest and most efficient way was to use a regular clothing steamer. save yourself some bucks.


A guy quoted me 200 bucks for just the back window. I couldn't stop laughing all the way out of the shop.

I just finished reading that post, sounds like a relatively easy idea. was that price quote for the back window to remove old tint/add new, remove or add? That's just ridiculous.

There is a REAL nice place by the Shea stadium where I have my car been done(By the way all my friends have done tint there and LOVE it , cause I saw different places do that and it was not that good), the whole car would be $160 and the guy asked my friend $20 extra for removing tint from front two windows so It would be around $200...But as I told you they do a REALLY good job!!NO scam or anything...By the way they give only 1 year warranty.As for defroster it would be ok if removed proffesionally..

thanks for the tip dumkuh! do you know the name of the shop? also do you think it would cost a lot to have the rear tint removed with them. i'm thinking of doin it myself with a steamer, but i'm real lazy...if its not too much extra i'd prolly just get it done professionally.

Thanks for all the tips guys...i'm gettin those gears rollin in my head lol

The previous owner of my maxima tinted the back window and then screwed it up making it all purple and bubbled, and then he tried removing it with really crappy results, aka it just started tearing off in pieces so now there's some cleared areas and then screwed up tint all around the defroster lines. Anyone know a good way to remove tint of this situation?

is the tint faded or in bad shape??./ If not why take it off...just get a another layer of tint over top of the 35%..my buddy got 2 shades of 20% on his car and it looks darker than my 5%

the main reason i want to retint is because i feel its too light. i'd like it better if no1 could see inside. also, to make my decision a little easier, i was trying to clean all my windows with what was supposed to be a tint-safe cleanser, and instead it started to come off a bit. so in the sun you can see a streak where it is lighter than the rest of the tint on that window.

i had my car tinted with a life time warranty for 200 in NJ, i dunno how much it would cost to take all the tint off though.

when i first got my max, i took it to a shop that mainly sells 23"s and up and does some tinting on the side. The sale was $85, but b/c i wanted the back a shade darker they charged $95, and i could have had the sun roof done for $105 total. the price includes a lifetime warranty
