Does anyone know how to remove the factory "solar tint" from a 2dr Yukon?? I really don't like the bronze looking tint. Can it be removed? or do i have to get new side windows?

get a razor blade and cut straight into the window. the tint is a film and is stuck on the inside of the windows, so you can cut into it and peel it off.

you cant remove factory tint cause it is in the glass all you can do is replace the glass or live with it

Put some dark tint over them, it'll get rid of the bronze look.

Oh well he knows more then me. My rear windows are just privacy glass there pretty dark though. The barn doors are the same. My driver/passenger side windows are 20% tint. I've never noticed my rear windows being bronze I guess there different then yours.

Of the hundreds and hundreds of OBS Tahoe and Suburbans I've seen, none have had a bronze tint to the factory privacy glass. Just regular dark gray.

post a pic of your truck you can always check and see if they are tinted just take a razor blade and go over the window to see if there is tint there if not then its in your glass
