How to Remove the Film from the Front Windshield?
2 Answers
Methods for removing the adhesive residue from the front windshield film are as follows: 1. Use a cotton swab to apply vinegar to the remaining adhesive. Once the vinegar dissolves the adhesive, wipe it off patiently with a cloth. 2. Apply essential balm to the adhesive and scrape it off with a knife. 3. Evenly apply alcohol to the remaining adhesive. After the adhesive softens due to the alcohol, wipe it clean. 4. Spray a specialized heat-insulating cleaner on the remaining adhesive. It will melt in a short time, and you can then wipe it clean with a cloth. Extension: Maintenance methods for the car's front windshield include: using specialized or suitable wiper blades and replacing them in time; keeping the glass surface clean; and using car-specific glass cleaner.
Removing the front windshield film isn't actually difficult. I've tried it several times myself, and the key step is using a heat gun or hairdryer to warm the edges of the film. Set it to medium-high temperature, but don't hold it too close to avoid damaging the glass. Once the adhesive softens, gently lift a corner and slowly peel it off - the whole motion should be gradual to prevent tearing and residue. After removal, if there's any adhesive residue left, I carefully scrape it off with a glass scraper or plastic blade, using alcohol or a specialized adhesive remover for better results. Finally, rinse with clean water and dry the glass. The whole process takes about half an hour, but patience is crucial to avoid scratching the glass. Old films tend to bubble and obstruct vision, so regular replacement ensures safety. I find DIY both cost-effective and rewarding, using common household tools is sufficient.
