Just got my window tint! Quick question

I just got my windows tinted. Llumar stealth 28% all around except front window (which is illegal in colorado i guess). anyways it looks really good but i got a quick question. i have some small bubbles of air in some places maybe about 1/4 cm in size. will these dissolve over time or should i take it back to have them fix it?? is it fixable??? thanks for replies.

How long ago was the tint applied? It should go away with in a week or 2. That is very normal. I had a Z that I tinted a few years back and it took almost 2 weeks for the bubbles to go away. They should all go away, it just takes time. If your concerned you can always call the shop that installed the tint and ask them what is normal for your area.

If It's still pretty fresh I'd poke a hole (with a smalll sharp point like a safety pen) in the center and go over it with a credit card. It worked on my Jeep. But it will bubble worse as time goes on.

are these bubbles near the edges? our windows have a weird "dot-matrix" thing going on that makes tinting kind of difficult. i had black vinyl strips placed over the edges and just tinted up to them

take it back to the shop where you got it and ask them about it and then tell them to fix it, piece of cake you get what you want you just have to speak up
