Default Just got my Tint back!!!...

I love it! First impression was amazing. It really makes the Fiji Blue pop more. But i have a concern. He said i cant roll down my windows for a week. its been 3 days. Which is kind of a pain. He also said its going to take about 5 days for the little bubbles to go away. its on day 3 (night) and i still see a pretty big bubble on the drivers side window.

should i be concerned about this? Should i take it back to the tint shop? wait the 5 days? Other than that i love it! i got 35% all around.

ill post pictures of the bubble tomorrow since its night time and the car.

any info on it would be great.

You can try getting a bondo spreader and go upwards on the tint to try and get the bubbles out. The guy who has always done my cars tells me not to roll them down for 2 days and I'm good. He's been doing for 10 years so I trust him.

wait the five days. im assuming you are in Pennsylvania and its probably cold right now. im in texas and my guy told me 2 days in the summer cause of the heat. the bubbles should go away direct sunlight is a big factor on drying. i PERSONALLY wouldnt go and try to flat out the bubbles. could cause more problems. wait till the five days and then take it back if it hasnt made improvements.

Just use a credit card to move the bubbles to the edge. And don't clean or roll down the windows for the 5 days. Not worth screwing anything up.

I wouldn't do anything with it either. Just wait and see what happens. Is there a warranty? We have lifetime warranty that covers bubbles, peeling, and fading. You don't want to void that by trying to fix it yourself.
