i dont know why i did not see this before... if you want to remove them its pretty simple, you will need a flat blade, like a scraper, and you will need some tar and glue remover, can get that from your local motor factors, if your anywhere near me i can remove all for £20 ;)

Just tried warm soapy water, it certainly comes off easier.. Perhaps a credit card edge might be easier than the finger nail.. Thanks

Thanks[/quote] yes its worth a try, but be very careful that you dont scratch the tint, as it will make it look a mess, i would use valeting products but that just me being a valeter, maybe try some tar and glue remover too, not to expensive and always comes in handy
