Why Tint Removal Is Sometimes Necessary
Even the best tint doesn’t last forever. Whether you’ve just bought a used vehicle or your current tint has seen better days, removal is the first step to restoring clarity and legal compliance.
At Merit Tint, we safely remove old, faded, or bubbling window film for car owners in Van Nuys and surrounding areas. We use professional techniques to protect your glass, defroster lines, and vehicle interior.
Signs You Need to Remove Your Window Tint
Not sure if your tint needs to go? Here are some common red flags:
- Bubbling or peeling edges
- Purple or faded discoloration
- Sticky residue between the film and glass
- Reduced visibility or haziness
- Illegally dark tint (less than 70% VLT on front windows)
- Cracked, scratched, or deteriorated film
Old or poorly installed tint not only looks bad—it can actually reduce visibility and get you pulled over.
The Risks of DIY Tint Removal
Removing tint without the right tools or expertise can lead to:
- Scratched or damaged glass
- Ruined defroster lines
- Sticky residue that won’t come off
- Inconsistent removal, with patchy results
- Hours of labor-intensive frustration
Save yourself the hassle. At Merit Tint, we use specialized heat tools and adhesive removers that leave your windows clean, smooth, and ready for new film.
Our Safe, Professional Removal Process
Here’s how we make sure your tint removal is clean and effective:
1. Assessment
We inspect your film’s condition and determine the best removal method.
2. Controlled Heating
We apply gentle heat to soften the adhesive without damaging the glass.
3. Precision Film Removal
We carefully peel off the film, avoiding tearing and streaking.
4. Adhesive Residue Removal
We apply commercial-grade cleaners that safely eliminate sticky residue.
5. Glass Preparation (Optional)
Want new tint installed right after? We’ll prep the glass for perfect adhesion.
