quick tint question

I want to get my windows tinted soon, and its been raining alot, but my friend said i should tint it while its raining becuase i dont have to wind my windows down and it can dry properly.

Also i was thinking the low humidity while its raining will help it stick better?

any ideas or am i just rushing myself to get my windows tinted

Well, they do suggest you don't roll your windows down for a few days. Some places even say for up to a week just because they don't want it coming back for them to fix so better safe than sorry. The plus to getting them done when it's raining is that your car will normally be dirty afterwards and the rain will help wash the soap mixture and possibly the baby powder (if they use it and most good tinters do) off the car.

When they tint, they do it in a shop, doesnt matter what the weather is.

Go to a reputable place get them to install the moleskins to prevent scratching, and lock the windows and dont roll it down for a week to let everything dry.

I would say its best to do it wen is suny cuz you can let the car sit in the sun. with all teh windows closed the car will bake on the inside and most of the water bubbles will dry out.
