Quick Window Tinting Question
I just got my windows tinted. Is it normal for there to be a few tiny bubbles or wrinkles in the tint for the first few days? Will these go away? There are some on the back window especially. If it's not normal then I will take it back up there.

Poor tint shops give you bubbles. Give the tint a few days to settle in, the bubbles should go down a bit. If it is bad and it is bothering you after a few days, take it back to the shop and see what they can do about it.

My tinter told me there might be little bubbles for the first 24hrs and if they were there after that point to bring it back....I never had any though

Re: Quick Window Tinting Question
Some tints could have tiny bubbles for up to a week, depending on how porus the tint is. I would wait at least one week before going back. My uncle owns a tint shop and I've had all of my cars tinted there, so I speak from experience. Also, remember not to roll down your windows for the first 24-48 hours and try not to use the heater too high on the inside until your tint is completely dry.
2 G or NOT 2 G, there is no question!

Re: Quick Window Tinting Question
I didn't have bubbles, but there was definitely some "waviness" especially in the back window. All this went away after a week or so.

Re: Quick Window Tinting Question
Definitely normal. Give it at least five days but no more than three weeks to fully cure. Drying time depends on outside conditions (hot, cold, in garage, outdoors, etc).

Thanks for all of the helpful advice guys! I'll give it a few weeks and see how she does.
