I admit it... I am blithering idiot.

I removed mine in weather like we have currently. The heat means it peels off with ease, then just use some thinners to wipe the glue residue away.

It was easy to remove the film but the glue I had trouble

Good on you for admitting it, Nitin.

I'm sure you'll get it sorted out.

you probably need something with bit more bite

that or take a hammer to the windscreen and then pay excess on the insurance

Imagine if I accidently drop it on my Type-S while walking over to the Civic.

As long as you wash it off immediately, you'd be ok.

Paint thinners won't harm your car. I use to to clean panels with stubborn crsp on it.

Pure acetone is what you should be using to remove tint glue.

I'm sure @vtecmec will like this one, IIRC you can mix propanone with brake fluid or veg. oil to make penetrating oil
