Rofl I had baked beans for lunch! Yeah I haven't regretted my decision to keep it so far, almost feel relieved.
So it's still raining, and I wasn't able to get the Eski out for some photos so I decided to try to remove the old window tint. Youtube showed me that you can remove it with steam, so I thought I'd give it a go. Fortunately, it worked really well! I even just used a household iron, which fortunately had a steam setting and pumped out massive amounts of steam.
Once heated right up and wet, the tint came off fairly easily. The hardest part is where the tint was damaged, because the tint broke apart rather than coming off in one large piece.
You can see the sort of damage the old tint had, on just about every single window somewhere other than the rear window.
I removed the inner weather seal from the window and tucked a towel into the gap to soak up any little amount of water than ran into the door.
I start need the edge and work across the window at an angle.
Too easy! I'm not planning to replace the tint, prefer the open feel.
I was hoping some bits I had ordered would show up by the weekend but they haven't, so I'll finish the amplifier install in the meantime.
Also, I had a friend with a fair bit of experience with classic cars look at the radiator and he agrees that it appears to be weeping down the bottom slightly, so might look into a replacement there.
