appears to be 35% tint all around. Not only is it illegal in my jurisdiction but I don't like the looks either. My concern would be the residue, RW defogger damage etc. and not so much the cost of doing it.

Rear is PIA... Sides are easy... Bring it to a tint shop... You'll be better off...

Default if it's been on there a while, not easy.

I remember having to use full-strength ammonia to remove the tint residue on a car I had years ago...it was the only thing that would dissolve the adhesive. it was a nightmare.

Default Thanks, sounds like a job for a trusted pro. This thing has an April in-service date so at least

at least it hasn't been on for long. Now it's just a small matter of negotiating a deal :-)

Default My RS6 had tint from previous owner that a tinting pro came to the dealership and removed easily for

me. Was too dark for Chicago streets for good side to side vision. It was probably on the car a little over a year.
