Will ACETONE hurt glass??

[badmix]

Picked up some Topper glass but it has some hideous purple tint on it. I thought about using Acetone to help get that off there. Would it hurt the glass? If so, what other ways would or could I to get that tint off. Im sure if I pull on it, its going to break off into a million lil pieces.

Thanks

Oh yea, I cant believe places like LMC want 300-400bux per window, I got these for 50bux. actually the guy was selling a whole topper with glass for 50bux but I didnt need a black topper, so I gave him 50bux just for the glass. Which isnt bad. I can probably get that back when I sell my sliders.

Most of the automotive windows have a safety film on them that the acetone would probably attack.

acetone won't bother the glass itself.

the acetone wont hurt the glass. it will mess up the tinting, but thats what you're trying to do. since the glass is off the truck i'd probably just lay it down, lay some rags on top of it and drench it in acetone. let it sit and use a razor blade to scrape it off.

Well acetone didnt phase it, so I just used windex and a razor, it wasnt too bad. The glue was a PITA though. had to use a rag and acetone to get that off. What is weird is one of the windows has the deep factory tint and the other one was clear but someone put some purple junky tint on it. I took the junky tint off and left the other window alone. Ill retint the clear one and hope to get them to match a lil bit. oh well.
