Thank you for sharing an update on the "prohibition on the use of black film." It's really helpful to us, especially for those who have four-wheelers. Stay in compliance, guys.

Thank you for the update. We have given instructions to remove the sun control films from all company-owned vehicles. Similarly, a mass email was sent to appeal to all employees to take the same action. Let us all contribute to the social cause.

Judicial activism at its height. The law is clear. If the visibility is 50%, it is perfectly in order. The government may come out with amendments now allowing the usage of Sun Control Film with a visibility of 50%.
At the most, Honourable judges must have advised the Administration to come out with rules regarding Sun Control Films.

Many of us might have films applied on the inner side of our four-wheeler windscreen, back screen, and window glasses. Since there is an order from the Supreme Court, all films, irrespective of their color or obstruction to vision, will have to be removed. It is not simply peeling off that will be sufficient. Here are steps for removal, separate for the wind and back screen and for windows.
Removal from Screens
Step 1: First, you will have to soften the film entirely. For this, get a sheet of plastic or many old plastic bags or garbage bags.
Step 2: Put some newspaper on the dashboard or the rear-parcel tray. Spray the entire window with a strong ammonia-based cleaner (Mo-Kleen or Mr. Muscle). You can also get an ammonium solution from a chemist and dilute it slightly to use.
Step 3: Place the old plastic bags or garbage bags over the ammonia-solution soaked film and leave it like that for about an hour or two, with the car parked in the sun. The sun will heat the glass, while the plastic bags will prevent the ammonia solution from evaporating and will instead allow the corrosive solution to soak into the window film and dislodge the film's glue.
Step 4: Take a flat razor blade and, keeping it as parallel to the glass as you can, gently lift the film from one corner where there are no defogger strips or antenna wires.
Step 5: Keep pulling the film gently and continuously keep spraying the ammonia solution on it as you pull to keep the glue from drying up.
Step 6: Once the entire film has been removed from the glass, spray it liberally with ammonia spray and use a rubber wiper or magic-wipe kitchen towel to remove any sticky bits of glue.
Step 7: Use a good glass cleaning solution and spray the glass liberally. Wipe it clean with a microfiber towel to restore its shine and remove any fine scratches or bits of glue left behind.
Window Glass
Step 1: Clear the window of all clutter and obstructions such as roller blinds, etc.
Step 2: Park the car in the sun for a few hours until the windows are really hot.
Step 3: OR, if you have a steam blower or hairdryer, use this to blow hot steam or hot air directly on the window film.
Step 4: Using a flat razor blade, pick one corner of the film by slicing parallel with the glass to lift up the film's edge.
Step 5: Continue using the hairdryer or steam blower on the film and keep peeling it back from one side. The more heat you use on the film, the more easily it will come off.
Step 6: Some bits of film may still stick to the glass. To remove this, you will need to spray it with an ammonia-based spray like Mo-Kleen or Mr. Muscle.
Step 7: After you spray the sticky bits, use the razor blade at an angle to gently scrape the sticky bits of film and the glue away from the glass.
Step 8: Spray the entire window with an ammonia-based spray and then wipe it with a microfiber towel.
Step 9: Use soapy water made with any household detergent to wash off the ammonia spray and bits of glue. Dry the window using a clean cloth or chamois leather.
Step 10: Using a commercial glass cleaner (like Colin), spray the window and buff it with a microfiber towel to restore its shine and remove any tiny scratches from the surface.
Carry this out before the traffic police do it in haste and spoil the glasses.

"Certainly! Here is the revised text with corrected spelling and grammar, as well as proper paragraph formatting:
Yah, andha kanoon hai... If the petitioner had come up with figures of crimes committed by politicians, then they would not have excluded the vehicles used by these politicians.
Has anyone considered the effect of the harsh sun in countries like on the interiors of the car and the increased temperature within due to the greenhouse effect? There are increased emissions from the seats, dashboards, etc., which are harmful. Also, increased temperatures within mean excessive use of the air conditioners, which will increase the temperature on the outside, apart from increased fuel consumption.
What is worrisome is that this blanket ban will hardly have any effect on the crime rate. I would assume that the majority of the sexual offenses inside cars take place at night in secluded places where light is less, so the film theory will hardly have any effect on that.
The petitioner does not seem to show that the films are banned in China and are the reason for decreased accidents against the figures submitted for India. The reason could be just plain good, well-maintained roads and infrastructure.
There should have been a public debate on this.
Till then, the RTO will have a field day issuing fines, charging for removing the films, and filling up someone's deep pockets... The burden on the common man just keeps on increasing.
The sincerity of those in power is under scrutiny, but the law seems more interested in bringing in more regulations. They forget that criminals are above the law. The simple aam aadmi becomes a criminal because of such ill-thought laws and oh... forget it... I could go on and on...
Anyways thanks to Mr. Agrawal for posting this judgment and to MedDir for posting the instructions for removing the film.
Regards, Deej."
