Does brand new tinting have itty bitty bubbles? Will they go away eventually? Or did I get a bad job? They are very tiny, but they are there. I am really hoping they will disappear. What do you think? Or should I take it back and make them fix it. How would they fix it? They gave me a lifetime warrenty on film and labor.

Park in hot direct sun light. If they don't go away after a couple of weeks talk to the tinter.

Yes the tinting will typically have lots of small bubbles that will disappear over time. When they tinted my windows they told me to expect that they'd be gone within two weeks.

Some tint takes longer then others to lose the bubbles. Platinum tint usually takes a week or two to lose them all. Like Bill said, park in direct sunlight.

Yeah those little water bubbles freaked me out at first - was ready to go nuts if they didn;t go away 'within a week' like the guy said - two days later, after a little evaporation, they were gone.

I just had my windows tinted yesterday morning and I also am seeing bubbles. My question is that since it is still winter here,will the bubbles still disappear eventually?

The bubbles contain water droplets... they'll disappear as soon as the water evaporates. My question is what happens to those new tinting bubbles in colder climates? Are the water droplets at risk of freezing?

Had mine tinted 20% all around yesterday, and yeah they're a tad cloudy. But they look good and will get even better once the glue fully dries.
