question on tint and bubbling?

Hey I got my tint job on Friday night. The shop told me not to roll the windows down for four days which I did. There are still air bubbles on the edging of the windows and its been four days now. Should I go back to the shop or wait for a few more days?

Go back...I waited a week after I got mine done, and the b@stards refused to fix it. My tint has little bubbles everywhere.

Yeh I have lifetime warranty on mine, but I'm reading on other posts it could take up to one week to two to dry for air bubbles? The spots are mainly on the sides and bottom Its been rainly all week here and cold ,29 to 30s for the nighttime lows. She is in the gargage though.

Go back to the shop and let THEM tell you that. Or if not, they'll just fix it.

bubbles never go away so no need to wait. they say to wait 4 days so you dont introduce bubbles. if you had them when you left, you need to go back and have it redone. the whole purpose of the liquid during the tinting process is to drive out any air.

I have tiny bubbles on some of the corners and edges of the back windows. The darker the tint, the easier bubbles will show up

I did give them a call today and they said because of the weather and there being no sun that drying will take longer but they will fix it if there is bubbling still in another week.

Dang when I got my tint done, they only told me not to roll down for a day or two, I got a little bit of tiny bubles on the driverside window, on the bottom but not too much and I didnt care to bother and have them do it again, i was content enough
