20%

I recently got my windows tinted 20% all around. it has been 2 days and i accidentally pulled the driver side window down a little, didnt look like anything happened, but is there a chance it damaged the tint that i could not see, it looks fine tho?

Another question i have it that it has many bubbles on the windows, should i give it time or is there something wrong? my friend got tints and didnt have any bubbles but i do all around

I also want to know if turing on the heater towards the windows is bad....will it melt or cause it to peel or come off? when its cold out i turn on my heaters and the rear window defroster which heats the rear mirror directly, it seems like itll be bad but idk

Thanks for all your help!

You shouldn't worry about any of th above except turning on the rear defroster. I think just like rollin em down you're supposed to wait a certain amount of days before using it.

Oh and most tint shops will tell you to come back in 48 hours to touch up the tint as far as any peeling or bubbles. You should definitely take it back and have them work out those bubbles. Over time they will expand leading to premature peeling and it's just ugly. LOL!

The bubbles will go away.. wait and if there are any stragglers after 2 weeks > take it back and they will redo it.

You must give it time to dry and cure. After a week or so if you still have bubbles, take it back to have it corrected. I have 15% all around myself. The TL looks great with tint.

Bubbles will go away? False. In the summer yes, now in winter? the opposite will happen.

Air is trapped, come back to the shop, tell him to heat up the areas using mini torch gun...done.

Water bubbles will go away eventually, air bubbles will not. I turn on my rear window defroster and have had no problems either. Direct sunlight and warmer temperatures will help the bubbles go away sooner.

OP- You have similar mods listed in your sig that another new member to AZ has repeatedly asked questions about (member: sprtstr012) and have recently started threads on AZ in your short time here in a similar fashion asking pretty much the same questions......

Interesting....

Post pics of your car ASAP.

Since I can't PM you, I'll try and keep this as brief as possible. I need to confirm something one way or another. Please post pics of your car ASAP in this thread. Thanks.

^ I remember that post from sprtstr012.. lol.. I got so sick to think of a 17yr old be given a TL-S from their parents.. what can I say.. I'm a hater.. my first car was an '84 Accord.. In college I upgraded to an '86 Maxima w/ modified exhaust (you know the holes in the muffler from rust that make your whip sound mean.. lol)..

btw.. what are the grounds for getting banned. I've seen that moniker on many Azine / ex-Azine members. I read the rules but wasn't sure about the exact grounds for termination.. hmm.. interesting..

I don't think he's telling the truth about his age. His profile on sprtstr012 said he was 20.
