The short answer

Signs It's Time

Tint Chattanooga removes old or failing window tint with steam and hand tools, then strips all leftover adhesive so glass is clean and clear. Rear windows are handled carefully to protect defroster lines. Most customers pair removal with a new Llumar film install.

Tint has turned purple or brown

Bubbles or blisters across the glass

Peeling or lifting edges

Haze that makes it hard to see at night

Too dark to be legal, or you just want a new look

Why Not DIY?

Peeling film by hand usually leaves the glue behind, and razor blades can cut rear defroster lines for good. We use steam and professional adhesive removers to take everything off without the damage.

Remove and re-tint in one visit, and save on removal. Your new film is color-stable and covered by a lifetime warranty, so it won't turn purple again.

Tint removal FAQ

Questions? Good.

Still have a question? Text us at (423) 810-TINT.

How much does tint removal cost?

Pricing depends on how many windows and how badly the film has broken down, so we'll need to see it to quote it. It's discounted when you re-tint with us.

Will removing tint damage my rear defroster?

Not with the right technique. We use steam and avoid blades on the rear glass to protect defroster lines.

How long does removal take?

Usually 1–2 hours, longer for badly baked-on film. [confirm]

Can you remove tint and re-tint the same day?

Yes. Most customers do both in one visit.

Why does old tint turn purple?

Cheap dyed films break down in the sun. Llumar films are color-stable and warrantied against color change.
