The S13 I recently bought came with tinted windows. I was able to peel, or scrape all the tint off the two side windows, but on the rear I cant get any of it off. And when some of it does finally peel off, only a layer of it comes off, and it leaves another layer behind. Is there anything I can put on the window to help it peel off easier? I dont want to scrape it too hard because Im worried that the defrosters will rip off with it. Any ideas? ---

DO NOT SCRAPE the back window, you will wreck the defrosters! use a heat gun hair dryer might work i used a heat stripping gun, that worked best. heat up the outside part of the window where you want to strip it off and peel it on the inside. ---

Tried the hair dryer… Nothing. Maybe if we can get our hands on a heat gun… ---

on mine with auto salon, I think the upgraded tint at 20%, for removal and tinting of the rear 1/4’s and hatch was 200. I think removal is like 60 bucks. Well worth it, especially if you’re not familiar with what is going on. Not worth the risk for me so I forked over the 60 bucks or whatever it as ---

Thanks for the offer, but I think Im ok. My friend is bringing his heat gun over some time, and if that doesnt work Ill go pay the 60 bucks for them to take it off. ---

When i was thinking of doing it myself, I remember seeing a lot of stuff on using ammonia and a garbage bag and letting it sit in the sun for a while. Try searchin google on it, sounds so familiar ---

I would take it to a professional, i had the same problem, i took it to Zeibart in edmonton, even he had troubles but after a couple of hours he got it off, the window is like new, it was $80 well woth it.
