Window Tinting

[ZiO]

Hey guys... im new to this site and have a quick question. Just got my p5 tintited, and i see a couple of tiny tiny clear bubbles on a window... i really dont feel like driving back to where i got it done to get it re-done.... i heard if i use a hair dryer i can get rid of it... any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Zio, if you JUST got it done....give it a little while to CURE....its not all that uncommon to find these little bubbles at first...but usually they will go away after a little while....course I know that you don't have much HEAT from the sun going on up there right now...but that is what will do the trick.

HOPEFULLY you got your tint done somewhere that gave you a lifetime warrantee....if so....just give it a few weeks to cure, then if they don't go away....take it back....

the problem of YOU using the hairdryer....is if something goes wrong and it messes up....THEN you are at fault and the tint shop may not fix it under warrantee....

just my suggestion

Thanks nukee... they just dont look like the kind of tiny bubbles that will go away though... but i guess i will have to have some patience ....and hey, Canada is warm when it wants to be ;-).

Peace Out

Hey Zio. I saw the same thing when I got my car tinted. I'm pretty Anal when it comes to stuff like that so I asked the guy. He said if you take a credit card and a paper towel. start on the outside of the bubble and work it towards a side (all the way to edge of the window), the air will escape and close the bubble. Be patient and take your time. Tint is too expensive to screw up and have to re-tint it.

I have had my car tinted for a little over a month and baking in the Florida sun. There are still going to be small bubbles (about the size of a pin head) that you will not be able to get rid of but they are so small you hardly notice them.

Hope this helps!

yeah I got tint twice, every time I have gotten bubbles, it is actualy just water that they use to put on the window before they put the tint on, so they can slide the tint around and adjust it. give it a month and it shoudl all be totaly gone, I have mirror tint and it takes a little longer to dry, but it still only took a month, but kinda a month and a half for EVERY tiny bubble to go away, but you stop noticing it mostly after the first 2 weeks.

What happened to your blue tint? Too many tickets?

see the post called "damn blue tint" for more info...basically, i got pulled over one time,and recieved a repair order for it being too dark, and too reflective. so it had to come off.
