depends on the size of the bubble... if it's only very little bubble, just wait a few weeks and it's gonne be ok or if it's as big as a cent...take it back

small bubbles should go away within a few days. Did you ask about warranty?

Dont use windex to clean your windows... Will turn them purple.

Yea they should go away in a few days, If they have a speck of dirt or anything in the bubble, its never going to go away(happened to me.)

If in 3 days they have not disappeared, then return to the shop that did the install ... although if they had pushed out all the air pockets and water residue properly there really shouldn't be any air pockets.

I think you meant to say don't use a glass cleaner that contains ammonia.

air bubbles are not uncommon when laying tint, they should disappear anywhere from 3-5 days, depending on the weather. colder weather takes longer.

cheap tint fades to purple, and also glass cleaners with AMMONIA will fade the tint, and discolor it, so stay away from those cleaners.

i would know, i used to be a window tinter.

You probably know this already, but don't put down your windows for a couple days.

All good advice!

I buy aerosol cans of Glass / Multi Purpose-Cleaner from Walmart or wherever -- good -n- cheap, and good for multi-uses.

Cleans bugs great off my motorycle helmet and screen!

lucky you membership has it's privileges, i paid $270 for mine a few months ago, but i did all my door windows, %4 in the rear and %32 on the front doors. haven't had an issue with law enforcement, when the pull up along side me.

KBCobra

Ah lucky you. The cheapest I could find here in SoCal was $120 all-around.
I was going to go limo tint but I see my friends fail all the time backing up onto cars, or hitting curbs because they have it. 4% in the back, 32% in the front sounds good

20th01

wait a couple days, then if you still see some, try to push them down with your finger yourself, if that doesn't do it, go back they should be happy to fix that for you

KBCobra

Not necessarily happy about it, but they have to

What are people doing about the textured top part of the back windows on our Maxima's? I just bought one and the rear window leaves a lot to be desired. Basically the top 6" or so are filled with voids where the OEM textured part is. Are you guys just not tinting that part or should a good tint shop be able to overcome it?

None of my cars have had that before, and I was going to take it to a tint shop to ask, but if people who own the same car as me already know, it may help me a bit!

Thanks all.

Thanks for the info, I wonder if that is what most people do on these cars? Was the line between the dotted area and the tint clean?

Yeah, some should go away. I've never had a 100% bubble free tint job (I've 4 different ones with three different places). I ended up taking a needle to a couple of the larger ones and managed to flatten them down.

I had mine tinted about a week after I bought the car. This was about 8.5 years ago. The tint has started to peel up on the back window about a year ago, but not on the dotted part. If the tinting is done well it should not come up. Eventually, if I really want to spend the money I'll have the back re-tinted, but for now I'm leaving it because it isn't noticeable at all from the exterior, and only slightly noticeable from the interior.
