it is a pia, razor blade and or scraper and time. you should be able to use window cleaner to get the glue off.

Take your time and you won't mess up the window. Use a very sharp blade with lots of window cleaner as a lubricant.

the lubricant (window cleaner) is very very important makes it so much easier

Leave it on then, I have only gotten one ticket when they were at 20%, the second "tint" ticket I got is because the officer didnt give me the ticket for speeding and just wrote me for the tint, when i went to get it approved that it was removed in my county, the officer said i should have just left it on when he was signing the paper.

i really think it would just be a big pain to take it off. it might look good, but i dont want to go though that problem, so i ll just wait till a cop tells me too

I used new utility blades in a handy knife like this from a hardware store...
and sprayed straight ammonia as a lubricant/adhesive remover. I had excellent results. As stated, do not attempt on the rear hatch b/c of the defroster lines running back and forth plus the tint in the rear is legal and helps keep the car cooler in the summer.

^ yes, they can cite you for it. It needs to be displayed on the front portion of the vehicle. I have mine under the seat in the camaro and the birds....man i don't know where that plate is come to think about it. Got hassled 1 time for the plate by a female cop though....and cited 4x's by the mahwah cops for it about a decade ago...weird.

When I first got my TA in the summer I had my plates there and got a ticket for unclear plates, although that's not what I got pulled over for.
