Bought a new car, it's got 'drug dealer' tints, I want rid.

Anyone suggest how one goes about this, or should I get a professional tinter to do it? Any ideas what this would cost?

Its been a few years since i had a car with tinted window, but basically used a hair dryer and to warm up the tints and then peeled them off. The windows still ad some glue which i was able to wipe away with some glass cleaner.

I remember watching Traffic Cops (or similar) when they pulled a RRS for illegal front tints, made the woman and her husband pull the top half of them off there and then, so I imagine with a hairdryer and a little bit of white spirit to clean off the residue afterwards you'll be fine doing it DIY.

The seller is removing them FOC after I told them I didn't like them, so no scraping etc. for me.

Thanks for your input folks.
