I was thinking about getting my windows re-tinted a lighter color on the back 3 windows so they match the front two...I was wondering if there is a tint removal that i can buy to make it easier to take off, and if i take off the tint will it ruin those metal defroster lines on the back windshield?

 

You don't need to buy anything. You probably got some ammonia sitting around the house right now (windex). Here are a couple sites that will help you get started.

Good luck.

 

what about my rear defroster...with those work after i take off the tint?

 

From http://doityourself.com/auto/automotivetintremoval.htm

"You are more than likely to damage one or more of your defroster lines, when this happens, the cut line will not work anymore. Some cars have radio antennas mounted alongside the defrosters made of the same material. If you damage these, your radio antenna will not work! Be careful! Taking it to a tint shop to be done greatly increases the odds of saving the lines, but even a tint shop can not promise to save your lines, sometimes the film is just to far gone."

 

yea I am thinking about taking off my tint but don't know If I want to chance it or just have to done professionally. It's been about 2 years so i think it is time to have it removed and a new layer put on.
