haven't tried the trash bag technique yet, but I understood you spray the tint and let the bag stick to that in the heat then pull it off. I don't know how spraying the outside of the window with windex or any other spray cleaner and lay the bag on that will do anything to the tint on the inside.
With the black bag it heats up the tint glue to the point where when you rip off the tint there is no residue left behind.
Sort of the same deal as the steam gun by using heat.
Im thinking I will spray windex on both sides, trash bag on both sides, put gas in a steamer and steam both sides. leave it sit for an hour in the sun. steam again. it should come off after that!
I did. In fact, I was a member here when that thread was posted.
By the way, great job avoiding my question.
should solve your tint issue real quick lol

I was referring to things being sorted out here in this thread.
Now, how about letting the OP’s thread remain on topic?
I also had a 98 Cobra dedicated RR car. I would research the Bondurant Corba cars (what mine was) for ideas. IIRC mine had a V10 water pump & a factory radiator off of something else. I ran a few suspension setups and finished with a MM setup up front & the Roush fabricated TA & PHB along with MM struts/shocks. I set pole with that setup in 90% of my races. GL with yours
Thanks, but I understand that, I was just saying I think you have to spray inside, on the tint and put the bag on the tint rather than what you had indicated about doing it on the outside of the glass.
Gotcha. Just speaking about my experiences utilizing the outside section of the window.
I ended up buying a steamer for $30 on amazon with next day free delivery.
It was super simple!

And since my last couple buckets were ruined when I went down... Picked up a new lid.
Bell Star.. $200 bucks on closeout. This is more than double that normal price.

I used this one here.
I just steamed the inside for about 20-30 seconds in a 1ft x 1ft square at the corner. Piked the edge to get it peeled back and then slowly pulled. On the rear window I cut it in the center so it wasnt too big of a piece to manage. The quarter windows and the side windows I just pulled slow and moved the heat just in front of where i was pulling.
I didnt use any ammonia or other bags. just hit the inside with steam.
There was a few very small pieces that it left behind I needed to razor blade but all in all, the main work took me about 30-40 minutes. the clean up of the residue was another 15-20 min. all in I was a little over an hour into removing it. Saved me money! Thanks to those who suggested it. now I dont have to iron anymore either.
moving along!!!
NP, anytime! should be a fun car!
Im trying! Next weekend is the maiden voyage!
Toss a match in for good measure. Tint will no longer be an issue.

Yesterday my MM front stainless braided brake lines showed up along with J&M rears. MM doesn't make rears so I opted to do a mix of brands.
Out with the old.

I neglected to get any photos of the fronts simply because they were messy and I was battling with getting tired and wanting to finish it up before midnight.
Earlier in the night I got my black cobra letters... Just because she's a track car doesn't mean she can't look fancy too! I also took vinyl and wrapped the bottom piece of the rear bumper. Looks much better to me. As you can see in this pic the body lines in the rear are all messed up. Biggest reason I don't care to fix this car and keep it clean.
