Tinting was done but ...
My car was tinted by 35% (the darkest permitted under MD law, probably) sungard film just a hour ago. Front door windows and rear door windows are looking good but I can see some air or water bubbles on the rear window (where heating lines and antenna are located). Do I have to request re-do on it? Or it will be okay after completely dried up?
Thank you for your comment.

They will go away after a few days, one or two bubbles will take a month or so but hey are just stuborn. DO NOT ROLL YOUR WINDOWS DOWN!!!!!!! It will ruin the job.

Just give it time. You should notice a change in the next few days. If not have them redo it. Just trust me give it like 3 or 4 days before you roll your windows down. Dont want to do it.

24 hrs should be enough time for the film to stick to the windows.
Post some pictures

24 hours only? i thought it would take longer for it to really stick, my shop told me 2-3 days, AND it was at least 90+ degrees.. and considering it's winter time.. it might have to take a week or two because the sun can't bake that isht.

24 hours is NOT enough. even though it is cold, leave your car parked out in the sun all day. most of the replies in this thread are correct. leave your windows up for AT LEAST 4 or 5 days. the rear defrost lines ARE a ***** but the heat (sun) will make it set nice. my rear window took a few days to set nicely too.

I didn't expect my post would draw much attention of members. I really appreciate your kind and sincere advice. I will post pics soon. But not really dark. 35% ... everybody can be seen through windows. :-)
