Use a razor blade in an inconspicuous spot(like top left or right corner). If it flakes, it’s more than likely a laminate layer(film) and not glue. Don’t use the blade over the rear defroster lines*. If it’s determined that it is a layer of film, take a piece of scrap film or the cheapest line you keep in stock. Cut and heat mold as you normally would. Install it as you normally would. Squeegee out as you normally would. Now take a black trash bag and cut it to fit on the outside of the glass. Take trash bag from the outside of the glass, and using slip solution(soapy water), install that black bag over the newly tinted window. Back the vehicle out of your shop and park it in the sun. Make sure the back window is getting full sun. Wait about 30-60 minutes, until the glass is so hot you can only leave a finger on it for less than a second. What you’re doing is using the trash bag as a steamer, steaming the entire piece of glass at one time. The newly installed piece of film *should* bond to the old layer of laminate, and it will all come off in one shot.

 

if that doesn’t work, get the ole scraper out and begin to go to town. Let customer know he/she will no longer have a functioning defroster. Use soapy water so the adhesive doesn’t get soupy and stuck in the rear deck or c pillar cloth. 

Hi Blackwolf,  it is the glue, damn glue spread the whole rear sedan window, it is not flakes, I scrapped some of it between the lines to see..Very different glue type.  The customer  took the  car for roadworthy appointment so i still need to figure out what to do til  next week.. I Have tried all glue removal and iso to  test  the glue,  but  no success, I intend to use steamer and both  steaming and scrap  glue  at the same time. Not sure if I would  work  a bit better or not.. this is winter over here  in Melbourne.. I don't think black bag would work  and I never ever used it too .. but thanks  for the suggestion!

I use LA Awesome for adhesive removal. I hear Fusion Epic Orange works good. 

Any photos of products..we from Australia so need to see where we can find some ..

Hi Lock, it's adhesive..it's the Lexus Soarer 98, but the film apparently look very good, probably a few years old by the look and feel of it. I never seen this stubborn glue and definitely not auto film glue.. anyone experienced to remove flat glass film on car and seen the how the glue behaves? I just suspect but can't say much as done hundreds  of removal but this is the first like this!!  

Hi tindude members

Please help as I have a customer car which I removed the tint. However the rear window  glue stick so hard even the glue removal doesn't make it easier to clean..it does appear similar like the flat glass glue because it behaves that way and very hard to get rid of even with glue removals..What is the situation I'm dealing with?and what way to easy clean it as it has all frosted lines as well..first time encountered on car so any advise is much appreciated!!

Cheers

Hi american tinters

just wonder if any of you guys using Vortex ceramic from solar gard, one of rep came to us and introduced this film, but as its new so not so sure if any of you use it and any feedback or knowledge to share about this film?

Thanks

Thanks for your response !

will keep that in mind

I use a lots in Aussie, appear just name changing but the film is still the same as I have been using before Avery took over, and now nothing different by the look or feel about it..unless something changes they announce otherwise they should remain the same or better i guess

Hi all experienced tinters, just would like to ask some advise if anyone has done  Mercedes coupe newest version, there is double glass and appear a layer of tint in the middle, not sure its tinted or not..the customer said Mercedes dealer asks not using heat gun when tinting this glass as it might cause cracking? Iam not sure but just as if any of you has done and give some opinions?
