take off your rear hatch....and take some gasoline or minerals spirits to it.....be careful just to get it on the glass and nothing else.....and then just let it air out.
exhaust leak is just how many post you got it will change the more you post

The way I starting taking off the tint of my car was using my fingers & some window cleaner. Keep it moist & something to start peeling the tint off. As you go along keep the sticky groove (where you just pulled the tint from) moist with window cleaner. It done a excellent job on mine. I didn't take off the rest because I end up getting a '91 Coupe.

Try any of the "mineral spirits" first - paint thinner, gasoline, acetone (strongest).

If none of those work very well, "gasket remover" from the local auto parts store will get it off, guaranteed.&nbsp Be careful, this stuff burns your skin!
