Can it be used to remove old "window privacy film?"

Totally weird, sounds like you've done all the right things...tried a razor blade yet? Sounds like it is impregnated into the glass, the way auto windshields have an 8 inch runner of tint across the top. I still don't think the adhesive remover has any value...have you tried goof off or OOPs? Since I can't picture it, I guess if it didn't look to weird you could put the film right over the top & hope it doesn't look bizarre. Sorry that's all I got

Heck no--privacy film can easily be removed by geting a corner (look for a tiny piece that is curled up) spray well with plain water & start peeling it up...even if the film has been there for a long time this will work unless someone actually glued the film down?? That would be very odd if they used any kind of adhesive to put the film in place

I have never Tried it on the window, but I took off Clear bra material, which would as tough as window adhesive You will need to get the film offIt does not soften the film that I know of

Yes, just make sure the entire surface is cleaned off really well, I used window cleaner, that seems to work well.

I'm just making an educated guess but I'd say you'd lose some of the integrity of the burglarbar placing it on the film and it would probably mess up the film when you remove the burglarbar. I am happy with the product I got it to keep the windows at a safe opening for my grandson's ssfety

My guess is it would make it slightly more difficult to break if the tint is the aftermarket film type. That's basically colored tape covering your window so even thought the glass might bread it will still be held loosely by the tape. You might have to hit it in more than one place and then tear or cut the tint film. I would think this tool would still be effective in getting the glass to a point where you can pull apart the tint film. You might even use the cutting blade to cut the film? Hope this helps.

Removal is as easy as peeling the film away from the glass. If your film has been installed for several years and doesn't peel easily from the glass then it may have a sticky adhesive so use Gila Window Film Removal solution.

I am no expert on this, but I believe you would apply the film to the inside part of the windows. I know that's were mine went. I have heard of people installing the film on the outside, but it would seem to have a shorter life time due to the elements. Craig

I haven't used it for that, sorry. I use just window cleaner, an a micro fiber rag. SW

I did use it for privacy on glass, and it does the job. Easy to apply. I can't speak for PVC, but it has a adhesive quality, so I think it would work for you.

I am thinking with bleach ... like those clorox wipes ... destroy any chance of trace evidence - er, if that is necessary

You can remove the outer wooden border and the white matte but it will not increase the viewing area. The matte covers the frame's casing only. Hope that helps! :)

I *thought* I'd be able to do this....but the pattern does not match up along the edges....it would have to be trimmed to get the pattern matched....which means I now can't use it for my front window because while there's enough film to cover it, there is not enough to trim it to match the pattern across.... :(

The film uses no adhesive so it's just a matter of pulling it off the window. It's like putting up a "cling" decoration and then just removing it.

I imagine you can. I don't know what sort of film it could leave when removing. I had I peal up a couple of the stickers and move them and they came up fine, and are still sticking great. I would have some goo-gone ready for when you are taking them down. The one side is the image, but the back side is white, like a normal sticker

It is similar to film used on auto windows . It's thin about like aluminum foil.

I would imagine not at all. This is a film to put on windows for visual privacy, not to eliminate sound.

It looks like a window screen on a thin sponge. You can you can use it with a solvent or alone and it does wonder.
