precautions after window tint is applied

[CRAZIECRACKER]

just got my windows tinted by the professional in my area...it was done three days ago and was only 180 bucks...not bad the cars appearence is amazing with them (35% all around)

has anyone noticed air bubbles after theyre tint was applied? it seems like just my drivers side window is got a few air bubbles in it with decent size...

i might just go back and have them check it out again unless this is normal

and i obviously did not roll down the windows

give it a few more days. they will go away. it may take a bit longer if its cold where you are

when I had mine done a couple of months back, I had small bubbles in the beginning, but they disappeared after about a week. If you have large bubbles, I'd check after a day or so with who tinted them, they might need to reapply the tint. Just my opinion though.

thanks alot guys for the input...im an impatient guy especially when i spend money i want it done right lol...but im going to wait it out see how it is...and it is very cold here...

i heard that the air inside the bubbles actually works its way out of the tint? like small pores in the tint film?

We don't have to worry much about that here. It's hot enough to take out almost any size bubble. But, there, they may need to take a heat gun to it to get them all out.

Full faith and credit, I hope you didn't have to pay a Virginia fine.

meh... connecticuts laws say 35%... but i say i dont give a ****. i see more people getting pulled over for loud systems then i do for tints...

if anything... ill try to pay the shop off to put stickers that say 35% while i actuall have 20% tint..we'll see wat happens, but im doin 20% regardless.

There shouldn't be any "air" bubbles. The only bubbles right after tinting are filled with the solution they use to adhere the tint to the glass. With heat and time the fluid evaporates. If there are air bubbles that don't fade after time, I'd take it back to see what they can do.
