Anyone familiar with removing window tint?

Illustration for article titled Anyone familiar with removing window tint?

A few years ago when I purchased my vehicle I had all of the windows done. At the time, the shop I had do the tint put my inspection sticker on the tint. They said when I’m due for inspection to just come back and they’ll remove the sticker, which they did with no fuss.

Problem is, the inspection station refuses to put the sticker on tint, and indicated I needed to cut out a 6x8 square on the windshield for the sticker. So my question is, how hard is it to remove a section of window tint? I was assuming I can follow the same principal for cutting other things. I was planning on outlining the area with painters tape, and cutting out my rectangle with an exacto knife. Is it that easy or am I missing something?
