I remember heating the tint film with a hair dryer helped quite a bit.

I think Father means a razor blade. Keep scraping, and keep the blade clean (get a wet sponge, and slice it a little to remove goop). Even when it looks clean, you'll still remove junk.
Use the razor blade when the glass is cool. I don't think it can scratch, but might as well not take the chance. __________________

All i have to say is good luck doing the rear window with the defroster. Thats going to be a tough job. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active
