tint question (just got tint)

i forked out 180 to get a tint job(had old tint removed). Did 20 on the front and 5 percent on all of the rest. anyway, on the back defroster window there is like a thin line bubble and around the edges of the defroster (where the lines meet that black area) the tint doesnt lay flat. The tint was done yesterday and i cant tell if its gotten better. The guy at the tint shop says itll lay down while its drying or whatever its doing in the next 4 days. My question is if anyone knows of this stuff actually laying down or is the guy just bullsh!ting me.
either way , i've got lifetime warranty. I was just wondering if its not gonna lay down how he plans on "fixing it". and if its easier to bring it in sooner or what the deal is on that.
there's a couple bubbles here and there, i just wnat the job done perfectly.
any info would be nice, thanks.
and the tint looks baller fyi. my old tint was this horrible purple 35 percent ,i guess to go with my maroon paint job.

bring that **** back. The rear window is a b!tch, and even with a lifetime warranty, they wouldn't keep your defroster lines. Get it done right initially. No bubbles should show.

what do you mean they wouldnt keep your defroster lines?
trust me im not going to settle with the ****, especially since i've got the warranty. its got to be perfect, its my first big investment and i'm lovin' the 5 percent. But yeah, i just want it dont professionaly and not sh!tty just because they arent making anymore profit from me and because they can see im a kid.
they made a mess with their liquid **** too.

if your back windshield bubbles up down the road and you go back for the warranty, all they would do is cut it all off with a razor blade instead of taking their time.

fyi,lifetime warranty is only fo rthe tint. so if you scratch the tint with anything,it is not covered. only if the tint comes off by itself or maybe even fade. any other defects from yourself will void the warranty. my frined does tinting and he tells me stories of people trying to pull a quick one on him. bring it back soon man.

yeah i'm gonna call him tomorrow most likely, i'm doubting he's crooked enough to rip me off considering i pointed it out to him the second he returned the car to me and he said "bring it back if you need to" but then he said stuff like "itll dry and go away". but i didtn really believe him.
thanks guys
oh yeah, he wouldnt tint my windshieild either

the problem with the back glass tinting , is that theres no sheet of tint thats big enough so they use two layers in most places , if theres a bubble definitely they did something wrong , if anyone lives in queens and needs a good place to tint for the maximas they do it 150$ so if anyone needs tints or a alignment place that does good jobs message me.

if there's water in the bubble it will most likely work its way out. I had a few bubbles in my tint and they worked themselves out as it dried

Sounds like they were ready to go home and they rushed to finish ur car. I would definatly take it back. I wish I could put 5% on my car.

yeah take yoru car back...there should be no bubbles...but if the guy says wait for 4-5 days...just keep going back within those days and bug the crud out of them they will eventually fix it...or what u can do is just use a credit card to take out the bubble yourself...if your up to it

What would it hurt to just wait the 4 days and then go back if there's still bubbles?
