Default Getting My Tint Put On.

so i have had my pre-cut window tint sitting around for around 2 months now, i got a quote today from a good friend of my dads to get it put on.

Im just wondering what most people have paid to have tint installed.

That doesn't sound to bad to me, how/what will you be using to get the adhesive off the windows? You can also possibly do harm to the rear defoster if you're not very careful and depending on what you use?

3m Glue Removal kit is what the guy told me to get. it comes as a foam and u spray it on the glue residue left after u take the film off and it comes is a pad kind of like a scotch bright pad and u use that to get the glue off then u clean the windows up good.

thats with or without the film in cost?

its just around $50 for installation on mine since i have the tint film already, so in total with my film i already bought it will be around $75 total.

Sounds like a good plan, never heard of the kit though, but if he recommended it then I'd use it. Also, it's gonna be hotter than hell removing the tint on the windows, especially the rear back glass and a big pita.... But I think $50 is a good deal since you already have the pre-cut tint already purchased. Just be careful of the defroster tabs, try not to move/bump them while removing the tint........
