Bubbles in my tint...help

I just got my car tinted about a week ago and it looks great (20% all around) but there are some small bubbles if you look up close, and maybe three you can see from far away. Before I call up my tint man and complain is there anything that I should know about how to remove the bubbles or how to prevent bubbles.

All the bubbles in my tint left after a full day in the sun, of course it happened to be 117 degrees that day...

Usually you go back for a check up anyway..It they do good work, they shouldnt have a problem you coming back...All they would do is push them out anyway...If they are really small or in the corners, you can just push on them and they should go away...good luck

Let it sit out in the sun for a little, don't roll down windows, and if the place is good, they should be more than happy to look at your windows, good luck bro...

I was told by the tint shop that it can take up to 1 month for all of the bubbles to disappear.

My tint did that. Give it a few days, it will settle.

True- My tintman put a metal sputtered reflective tint on my max
and explained that the bubbles will go away (up to a month) -dont
worry its not airbubbles-Its the bonding solution that takes a while to dry- You should be good then cause its probably a good tint!
