Quote from: Gurgie on Jul 02, 2026, 08:01 PMTook the window tint off the 997 & gave it a quick wash. Car came with tint on all the windows & I was never a fan, but was hesitant to try & remove it. Was scared of glue being left behind. With the heat wave we're in, put the car out in the sun & did the passenger side window first as it was peeling in one corner a bit. Came off no issues or glue residue. Next up I did the driver's side. Was surprised the rear glass went quite easy. Hardest one was the driver's side rear quarter window because I couldn't get a corner started, took a small screwdriver to get it started & then it came off as easy as the rest. Car feels much more airy now & not as closed in. I imagine at night will be the biggest difference.

A couple pictures of it today & an old one showing the tint.

If you want film to keep heat out and your interior from fading, check out 3M Crystalline. Their near clear works very well indeed.

The car spends most of it's time in the garage, so not too worried about the fading. If I was parked outside, all day, every day, then maybe I'd consider it.

I feel like Hannibal lives in the Mississauga area, which is pretty devoid of fun 20 minute drives.

What do you mean, sitting on the 401 for 3 hours to go 4 feet isn't considered a fun Ontarian drive??  ;D

Lol, yes Mississauga so it's pretty congested, especially after noon. But I am in the north part so pretty close to all the roads you see on Throttle House.

I promise to make more of an effort boys. In fact this morning I was out running all my errands with it, including groceries. Nicked my wheel at the No Frills parking lot for my efforts :(

Yes, the BMW is a RWD manual, and I still love it!
