if youve got a clothes steamer or one of those general house cleaner steamer thingo's that usually works.

if you started with using the steamer you wouldnt have had the glue problem, the tints would've come off without the glue staying on the glass. so use the steamer and a razor.

I was going to say Metho and get scrubbing!

Straight Metho too, no diluting.

I have also used paint stripper to remove adhesive off glass, but I don't think that is a good idea to use in your car.

It is very corrosive and you need to hose it off.

You could apply a little bit of paint stripper and get a bucket of water and a wet a cloth and wipe if off...

Just be careful not to get the paint stripper anywhere on the interior of the car and yourself.

OK - if you're dissatisfied with the methylated spirits...

Plan B:- I used to work in pharmacy.

And some detailers used to come in and buy pure acetone to clean glass back to its pristine state.

Acetone is the main ingredient in nail polish remover - but without the oil.

Pathology labs use acetone to clean glass slides for microscopy.

To test-clean, use a bit of your Mum's nail polish remover on a small patch of the rear windscreen and if it's effective, go to the chemist and get 100ml of the pure stuff. Keep the windows open whilst using it.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
