The tint on the DS of my daily started to fail last fall. During this ongoi=
ng failure there was adhesive getting on the inner squeegie as well as the =
tint that wasn't peeling. Today I finally had to pull it all off as it was =
starting to bunch up and peel considerably worse.

Now I have all the adhesive to try to remove.

Steam and scraping was suggested by the tint place but I don't have access =
to a steamer.  Do you all think a cautiously used heat gun with a stainless=
 scraper would work as well?

Rubbing alcohol moved the adhesive around but seemed to not really remove i=
t. I might try this again tomorrow when it is hopefully warmer.

thanks
