Unhappy Is it OK to re-do tinted glass?

Is it OK to re-do tinted glass? The tinted glass is not dark enough. It was done by dealer when it was new.

1. Does remove the tint hurt the glass? :'(
2. What is the % limit that people are talking about (I'm in Texas)?
3. Which tint is the best for a silver/black TSX?
4. Any Picture?

Thanks.

There's no reason why you can't re-tint.

Sorry can't help you with laws you your area but I like 35% all around.

since its fresh you shouldnt have problems but make sure they are extra careful removing the rear tint as you dont want to damage your defogger/antenna

What he said, you could probably save yourself some money by removing the tint yourself (hair dryer and scraper) I would let the pro's remove the rear window tint though, if your not careful you'll pull the defogger right off the window

i removed tint by myself before and its pretty easy...just get a box cutter razor and start edging in at the top and with a hairdryer/heat gun start warming/loosening up the ahesive and pull slowly.

yeah, let the pros do the rear, dont wanna mess up ur defogger
