New Tint...bubbles?

Just had my G tinted a week ago today. 35% all around, love the improvement.

However, I still have a few pinkie nail sized bubbles on 2 of the windows. The installer said to wait 3-5 for it to dry and any bubbles should go away. Searching online lots of people report the same thing, but some say BS you should never have any bubble if done correctly.

It has been fairly cold (in VA), but the other windows look good. He said the bubbles take longer to go away/dry in cold weather. He has lifetime warranty and he was glad to take a look and fix or redo if necessary.

Are these temporary bubbles normal? Will bubbles reappear months/years later?

give it a few days and check, temperature/relative humidity can all play a part in how the tint adheres and then sticks. if you're noticing consistencies in all of the windows it would appear to me more of an install issue and should certainly be taken back.

hahaha.

bubbles can be normal and can go away. usually 3 days in the sun takes care of them. If they are really bad and there are a lot of them and wont go away, take that ish back and have them redo

As said before, give it a few days to resolve itself. But depending on how big the bubbles are and how much you feel the need to have the tint fixed by the people you paid (which I can relate to), you can just make a SMALL slit in the center of the bubbles with a blade and smooth them out with whatever form of straight edge you have that won't scratch the film. But thats only if they are small bubbles that you will be able to flatten easily... cause that all the tint shop is probably going to do about it.

If you have any doubt that you can fix it at home, then take it back for sure.

I just got back from getting tinted right now and I have zero bubbles.

Perhaps t depends on the weather where you are? Its about 40 degrees here today and was done indoors.
