They told me to wait a week after i got it done to let the water in the bubbles evaporate..if they dont go away then just come back and they said they would fix em....so..

They should go away. Just keep your windows up for a week and don't use your rear defroster...It is summer time we all know you will be using your defroster ALL the time. :lol:

heh, it should disappear in a few days ... but i have yet to get a window tint job that had bubbles in it afterwards .. that sounds more like someone is just lazy on the squeeging ... and on the heating and forming .. and hoping the sun will finish their work.

The only bubbles left in there should be about 1mm or less in diameter. Anything more is not likely to come out. Tint film is not as breathable like say, car vinyl.

I been in that business before, and first - 250$ for ho many windows? Man, you should have shopped around, I can get 5 windows +eyebrow for 180, and it is a metallic tint that never fades or cracks. Also, I have never seens bubbles in tint after it was done, plus, you need 72 hrs before doing anything to the windows, like rolling them down etc... plus, it needs to dry for about 4 hours after install in the sun and heat, that gets rid of water under the tint. :D All my knowledge I can share :D

They did the back and 4 doors, no eyebrow? :| Guess it was a bit overpayed. Once I get a chance Im going to go back and complain, theres still bubbles in the back window, and very very small dots on the passenger front window. Damn did I get screwed ------ NO ONE GO TO INFAMOUS GRAPHICS ON CENTRAL AVE IN ALBANY, NY!!! ------

Mine was 40 dollars and a case of bear :)
Knowing how to tint and having a friend that is good at it is very helpful....
The only bubbles you should have is maybe a few tiny ones and you might see some streaks that will go away but if its a big bubble then I would take it back.
If its the rear window is the bubble on top ? When I was tinting my car I had to use a strip of vinyl on tyop because the tint would not stick properly to the top where the defroster lines are very big.
The small front dots could be from dirt if this shop isnt very professional.

Wow. I feel so fortunate that my dad used to own his own tint/alarm shop. o_o...$250 god.


we didn't have any bubbles when we did mine. just a little places near the very bottom corners where i didnt' scrape the old glue off very well...
