I'm not one to complain too much... BUT one of the previous owners of the Coronet decided cheap purple window tint would be an awesome idea. Getting that crap off the windows is such a PAIN in the under-carriage....
First, this film is like a dual layer thing, there is a thin clear layer that peels off rather easily, but it leaves the horrible purple sticky layer, which only comes off in LITTLE BITTY pieces even with a steady hand and a razor blade.
*sigh*
here is a lovely shot of me finishing up the passenger side door window:
good news is the window is now crystal clear with no funky residue leftover. My super secret miracle cleaner? Lighter fluid! Not the kind you use to start charcoal, but the kind you would use in a Zippo type lighter. Comes in a yellow and blue plastic bottle and the brand I use is Ronsonol Lighter Fluid, and one of the first things listed on the bottle is "label removal"
The back glass has been removed intact which is FANTASTIC however the front windshield decided to make a huge cracking sound which scared me half to death!!! but the damage is done there:
Hopefully, we will be able to replace the front windshield with something after market, I know many of the rusted body panels are available since I have searching and pricing them, I'm going to have to search for front glass.
