savage VH1 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 has anyone ever had a problem with a removal of a rear windo in regards to the defroster lines coming off with the tint? specifically a 2013 taurus. if so what have you found will help prevent this if there is even anything that can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesop_Rock Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Did you use a steamer to get it off or ammonia and a trash bag? those are the only 2 methods I know that will get tint off a back window without hopefully having the defrost lines coming off with it.

savage VH1 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 i used the steamer, it pulled pretty easily, and with virtually no glue left, but my tint had a grid from like the whole bottom set of defrosters. im chalking it up as a manuf. defect, but you know ford wont have any part of that so well be eating this one unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage VH1 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 i have not tried the trash bag method, how does it compare to the steamer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicATL Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Trash bag is what we do as long as there is some sun. Soak it in Ammonia and cover it with a black trash bag, then let it sit facing the sun. While that is going on, steam off the sides. When sides are done, you can remove the back window. Works better for defrosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way they know if shit happens you are in the clear and you can eat tacos instead of BG's i love tacos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
