Winded down window with new tint

I got my windows tinted yesterday, and accidentally winded down the window while the tint was still wet . Now you can see light streaks going down the window. Some of them I can wipe off with a cloth, but the others look like they are on the other side of the film. Will the Tint Shop repair this for free? Will the streaks go away?
Thanks.

i did that once in my old car....
it started to peel a year later, i had cheap stuff in though

if you have a good tint shop do it like i do, you should get at least a 3 year warantee

my tint shop offers life warranty. wavy streaks between tint + window = normal
I parked my car out in the sun 3days straight and the soap on all my windows got vaporized. I left the windows up for like a week just to play it safe.

ya it'll clear up after a while...one time when i got my car tinted i roll them down the same day with no problems and the tint was still perfectly fine lol i guess mine dried up fast or whatevers but it's safe to wait a few days before rolling them down. but the last time i got the car retinted by a different shop i rolled down the windows the same day as well and didn't notice anything wrong but after a few days the tint from the bottom wasn't sticking...had to get that redone lol

Any decent film, like Llumar, will have a lifetime warranty against bubbling/cracking/peeling. The sun and hot temps will dry up the air bubbles within a week or so, as everyone else has said.

Most tint shops will tell you not to roll the windows down for 48 hours. Wait a week and see if there's any damage, if so, return to the tint shop, they'll probably charge you to remove & replace it

Don't wait and see what happens. Just go back to the tint shop, explain what happened and hopefully they'll fix it for free. My tint shop puts tape over the window switches to deter people from rolling them down. maybe you should try that afterwards just in case you forget and roll them down again.
