i just got my windows tinted 2 days ago, notice a little air bubble on the driver side window. Should i pop the bubble or just leave it there? Or is there anything else I should do to fix the bubble? thanks.

don't touch it..leave for 5 days , it should go away..if not....callthe installer for warranty.... but whatever you do DON't pop it, you Tint will fail in less than three months... my .02

Lontar1 is right. Don't pop it whatever you do. Let it sit in the sun as much as possible for a few days. If it doesn't go down, take it to the dude that installed it and get him to fix it for free and then explain to him how bad he sucks at tinting windows.

Bad time to get tints w/ all these cloudy days.....

Leave your car out on sunny days. Bubbles should go away.

it's normal...he should have told you about this..it will go away in about a week..leave the car outside

or if you are careful you could push the bubble out. get something similiar to a credit card that has a flat edge and is sturdy. then push it out. be careful to only push in one direction, out to the edge of the window.

99% of the bubbles will go away over time. Don't expect absolute perfection though, there will always be some minor dots or whatever (I'm talking one or two per window, though).

Then if it doesn't go away, take it back to be fixed, but it takes a while. I had mine done in summer in Houston, and it took leaving the car outside in 95+ for a week for everything to dry completely.

BTW, tinting the sunroof turned out really cool (literally) - I can now drive all the time with the panel back, and even with direct sunlight it's not hot. Used...18% I think?

to push the air out, should i do it before it dries up? I want to wait a week before i even touch it because you guys are saying it'll go away......you guys sure about this?

"PoW"

yes... but be very carefull!!! if it is a bubble that big i would help it out. do not be totally perfect with it but at least push it out and have the tint flat against the window...
