I would suggest taking the car to one of the places that installs tinting. I assume they have some means of removal that would be much easier than you doing it yourself. We had one of the windows on the now gone Toyota Avalon redone at the tinting place as it got damaged. They stripped and replaced it in a very short time so they must know how to do it better than us. Maybe you can get a lesser tint applied that will pass the test. I think my younger son had the tinting replaced on one of the truck windows too as it was starting to peel off.

Major bummer. Has anyone BTDT and can recommend a plan of action for me? There are a grand total of 7 glass panes that I must scrape and treat, including the rear hatch glass. The latter is my biggest concern - I don't want to break any of the sensor wires. Thanks in advance, Andrew 1983 300TD - tinted windows, passed DC inspection 4/08 1985 300TD - tinted windows, failed inspection 7/09 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
