Why and When You Should Remove Old Window Tint

A technician at Mr Tint was removing car door glass window film.

Why and When You Should Remove Old Window Tint

Old or damaged window tint doesn’t just look bad — it can reduce visibility, lower your vehicle’s value, and even become illegal. Whether your tint is bubbling, fading, or simply outdated, professional tint removal is the first step toward a fresh upgrade.

Common Reasons for Tint Removal

  • Bubbling or peeling: Caused by age or poor-quality installation

  • Fading or discoloration: UV exposure can make tint turn purple or hazy

  • Poor visibility: Old film can reduce clarity, especially at night

  • Failed WOF: Non-compliant or damaged tint may cause inspection issues

  • Style refresh: Want to switch from dyed to ceramic? Old tint has to go first

DIY vs Professional Removal

While DIY removal is possible, it often leaves behind glue residue, scratches, or damaged defroster lines. Our professional removal process:

  • Safely strips away old film

  • Removes all adhesive without harming the glass

  • Prepares your windows for a clean, new install

What’s Next?

After removing the old film, we can help you choose a modern, legal, and high-performance replacement — including ceramic tint, UV-blocking film, or privacy-enhancing options.
