Removing tint from windows - easy DIY, or let a tinter do it?

New Alfa has tinted windows. I hate tinted windows...

I've done it. Takes ages. Need patience. But totally doable.
YouTube academy FTW.

You prefer burning extra CO² by keeping your air-con under load?

I prefer being able to see out of the windows, especially at night. And not looking like a wannabe gansta wanker....

If they're tinted that dark most likely not a legal tint or maybe get your eyes checked.

How many poofteenths of feck all does it save in fuel anyway?

Wow, that much?! I had no idea...

That's a concept I've never grasped, spend so much time on something to sell it straight away. Are the other forces involved?

It's very cool and unique and I'd buy it myself if I could

many forces...... one being an amarok

actually im selling my lot...that ute and 2 kombi campers, focusing on doing Vw-subi swaps, the red one is being restored as we speak

Buggerit. Stupid German driveshafts... So - cop the cost of the gearbox oil and boot kit, or let an apprentice at the dealer use a rattle gun on bolts in the alloy uprights? I think I know the answer to this one...

You can do them on the car without popping the inner.

Getting the outer CV off the shaft is a pain unless in a bench vice... Depends if it’s got a circlip I can release or it’s a bash off job.

Fuelling the MTB demon with loads of spare cash no doubt.

If you can get someone to hold the shaft and you know how to hit the outer so that the force is parallel with the shaft they usually fall straight off, the only time I've had problems is when flogs fit the wrong c-clip or jam it in the splines, even then you can undo the inner-shaft outer c-clip off and get to it that way.

Cool, I'll give that a shot before dumping the fluid on a 1000km old dual clutch transmission.... Lobro boot kit is $25 from the UK, worth it to avoid the dealer.

I think the OEM joint is a standard GKN - that should be pretty conventional and responsive to a health thwack with a copper hammer.

Mind Boggles how a CV boot fails so quick.

It is cursed.

Its been nicked. Not failed, damaged at either the CV factory, or the logistics companies sending the shaft to Italy, or the assembly plant.
