air bubble in tint?

I just got my G tinted at California Tints in Rosemead, CA. I had heard high recommendations from them so I decided to take my car there. After they had tinted my car, I began to notice quite a number or small air bubbles all around. What can I do to get rid of this? My friends had told me he also had air bubbles but they disappeared in about a week. Is this true? Anythin I can do???

Helpful things

You should try to park in sunlight as much as possible. A hot, dry environment is best. It usually takes a week for water bubbles to go away unless the bubbles are caused by dust then it won't go away but may get smaller. Good luck.

Air bubbles will disappear naturally. That isnt always the case however, you will always have air bubbles no matter who you go to. Just dont roll your windows down for 3 days or so and leave it out in the sun. If there are still air bubbles on your window, I would stand one arm distance from the window, if you can still see it, take it back and have them redo it.

California Tint did mine and it had a few tiny bubbles, they went away after a few days. If they dont, take it back and they'll take care of you.

if there are still air bubbles, they won't completely redo the tint. They will slightly touch the bubble with a razor to make a small opening and then push it flat.

the tiny bubbles will go away in 5-7 days. +1 to park in the sun for the meantime.

i had my car done at the exact same place.

let the car sit in the sun for the next few days and the bubbles will go away.

if they don't, then take it back to peter and he will take care of you.
