Default How to fix a penny size bubble in window tint

Three weeks ago I went to have my windows tinted 35% all around. They came out great except for the rear window which has developed a penny size (maybe even a tad smaller) bubble. The guy would gladly fix it for me, but he lives a couple hours away so I figured I might be able to fix it myself considering how small the bubble actually is.

Anyone have any suggestions?

TIA

pop a hole in it with a needle and flatten it out? i've never delt with tint but that's the only way i can imagine one getting the air out.

Hopefully it won't come to poking holes, but thats an idea. Thanks for the quick response.

take a minisqueegie thing and try and work the bubble to the bottom of the window and hopefully it'll work itself out

If I used the pin method, what could I do to prevent wrinkling the tint?

Just use your finger as if you were putting on a decal and no wrinkles should occur...
