Sunvisor Strip & Tint Removal

At Tinted by TK, we offer two specialized services that address specific window tinting needs: sunvisor brow strip installation and professional tint removal. Whether you want to add a sleek windshield brow strip for sun glare control or need old, bubbled, or illegal tint safely removed from your vehicle, our team at 302 N Clinton St in Bloomington, IL has the skills and equipment to get the job done right.

A sunvisor brow strip, also known as a windshield tint strip or sun strip, is a band of tint applied to the top portion of your windshield. It serves a practical purpose: blocking the harsh glare of the sun when it is low on the horizon during early morning and late afternoon drives. A brow strip reduces eye strain, improves visibility, and adds a stylish accent to your vehicle's appearance. We offer brow strips in various widths and shades to suit your preferences and comply with Illinois law.

Tint removal is a service that many vehicle owners eventually need. Old tint can bubble, peel, turn purple, or become hazy over time, detracting from your vehicle's appearance and reducing visibility. Removing old tint is a delicate process that requires the right techniques and tools to avoid damaging the glass or the defroster lines on the rear window. At Tinted by TK, we use safe, professional removal methods that protect your vehicle while thoroughly clearing away old film and adhesive residue.

A sunvisor brow strip provides targeted glare protection exactly where you need it most. The top of the windshield is where the sun's rays enter most directly during early morning and late afternoon driving. A brow strip blocks this glare without darkening the rest of the windshield, maintaining full visibility for driving. This is particularly valuable for commuters who drive east in the morning and west in the evening, facing direct sun glare during both legs of their commute.

Brow strips also add a stylish, finished look to your vehicle. A dark gradient strip at the top of the windshield gives a sporty, aggressive appearance that complements both everyday vehicles and performance cars. We offer strips in various widths and shades, from a subtle thin strip to a wider, more dramatic band. Our computer-cut patterns ensure a precise, straight edge that looks professional and clean.

Professional tint removal is essential when old film begins to fail. Bubbled, peeling, or discolored tint not only looks bad but can also obstruct your view, creating a safety hazard. Attempting to remove tint yourself can result in scratched glass, damaged defroster lines, and stubborn adhesive residue that is nearly impossible to remove without professional tools. Our removal process uses specialized techniques that safely lift the old film and adhesive without damaging your vehicle.

Tint removal is also necessary when you want to replace old, inferior tint with new premium ceramic film. Removing the old film is the first step in upgrading to ceramic tint, and a thorough, clean removal is essential for a flawless new installation. We remove all old film and adhesive residue, leaving the glass clean and ready for new film application. This ensures the new ceramic film adheres properly and looks perfect.

For sunvisor brow strip installation, we begin by consulting with you on the desired width and shade of the strip. We clean the top portion of the windshield thoroughly, then apply a computer-cut film strip with a precise, straight lower edge. The film is applied using professional squeegee techniques and carefully trimmed for a clean finish. The process is quick, typically taking 30 to 45 minutes.

For tint removal, we use a combination of heat and specialized solvents to soften the old film and adhesive. The film is carefully peeled away from the glass in a controlled manner to avoid leaving residue or damaging defroster lines. For stubborn adhesive, we use professional-grade adhesive removers that dissolve the residue without harming the glass or surrounding surfaces.

After removal, we thoroughly clean the glass to remove any remaining adhesive residue, leaving the surface spotless and ready for new film if desired. We inspect the glass for any damage that may have occurred from the old tint and advise you on the best course of action. If you are replacing the old tint with new ceramic film, we can perform both the removal and installation in a single visit.
