Removing window tints
So I finally got round to removing the crap tints from the Civic - all went smoothly apart from quite a lot of adhesive has remained on the rear windscreen
Has anyone got any recommendations for how best to remove it? I tried the glass cleaner I normally use, but it didn't budge.

I removed my tints as well from the Civic and lots of glue left,, I think Dan was meant to send me some kind of liquid but think he's got busy..

Some more useful advice from someone clearly inspired by Eric The Car Guy...
Clearly he carried out a full COSHH assessment before randomly mixing all the chemicals together on the window...
razor blades and heated rear window filaments do not mix, though...

Yep, that's the scary bit. So long as it's a very sharp blade, you make sure the glass is clean first (no bits of grit that can get stuck between the scraper and glass) and you follow the curve of the glass you should be ok. Also some lube helps, as always (windowlene would be fine)nitin_s1 wrote: blade to take it off. I'm scared I might scratch up the glass..
