bought car with bubbly tint on entire rear window and some on the driver side window and quarter glass, i got sick of not being able to see out the rear so i physically scraped and peeled of 98% of the rear window tint off, was time consuming and needs touch ups but is their any way to fix minor bubble trouble??

heat gun, no go... how bout a hair drier? and if not is their a simpler way to remove old tint with out a hugh mess?

yea, there is a very easy way to remove a bad tint.

remove the sealant from around the window, pop the glass out. Toss it from a high building and go to the wreckers to get new glass.

Tint is supposed to be difficult to remove, and that is why I will never do my own tint, If not done 100% correctly it leads to Bubbling and Cracking which looks horrible.

buy acetone, its eats tint and will easily take off the remaining peices, and will take the glue stuff off.

is acetone a paint thinner, and is it safe to touch?? thanks great tip!

Princess auto in whitby has heat guns for 14 bucks right now. I just bought one the other day. It would make your tint removal much easier. I'm loving it I just soldered and shrink-tubed my entire audio system today with it
