Stuart -
Thanks a bunch for that writeup! The tint on my rear hatch was badly bubbled (I suspect the coolant from the burst a coolant hose started the problems), and it was hard to see out of.
I spent around 2 hours (between yesterday and today) to get the tint removed all the way, and I am very happy with the quality!
I mixed the Palmolive 25/75% (I cannot count), did the trash bag, and was able to peel the old tint right off. To get rid of the glue that remained, pure ammonia and a few shop rags - no troubles at all! It was just like wiping off dirt, no hard rubbing or anything.
I think the trick was removing the window glass, and then working with the glass on a little shop table. Removing the glass requires a philips screwdriver (3 screws where the wiring harnesses connect), a flat screwdriver to pop off the 3 harnesses, a 10mm ratchet to get the 4 nuts that hold on the glass, and a 12mm open-ended wrench to get off the truck struts.
With the glass on the "ground", this was *easy*.
Thanks again!
