Question for tint experts

i wanted to redo my tints but dont know if its possible to remove the rear window tint w/o damaging the window heater lines and the antenna (on 5th gen rear window). for all you guys who do tints did you ever remove the rear window tints and does it cause any damage? i assume the side u just peel off? thanx.

Ya, it's possible if done by a professional shop. I know that "Art of Tint" in Manhattan can do it. Here's their website: http://www.theartoftint.com/index.html

I haven't done business with them but I know that many people were very happy with their work.

I pulled my rear off one of my vehicles before I had a shop retint the windows. Just peeled it off slowly. All the lines worked when I checked them later. A lot of glue residue left over though. I think I used a lot of windex.

yea, takin off the tint is the easy part. ITs the glue thats a PITA. Lots of windex(w/ammonia) and the finiest steel wool. YOu have to take off the 2 side pillars and make sure to get the top matrix real good or the shop is gonna charge you. Well at least they did to me. I was pickin at that crap for 2 days and still i ended up payin them the 75 bucks to tint take off the glue. If you have patience and time, do it urself otherwise take it to the shop, its cold as shiEt out there anyway.. good luck bro
