Had my drivsers side tint repaired yesterday ... some bubble came up .

So like the title says i had the drivers side front window tint repaired after like to 2 months of trying to get it fixed by the guy who did it . The tint was peeling up from the bottom of the window so it looks like he just replaced the whole tint on that window but now the are some small but visible bubble coming up . I cant remember if it happened the first time so it seems like he screwed it up . Just wanted to know if that's normal and will go away ... its mad cold here so i'm thinking that may have something to do with it .

water bubbles will generally go away in a week or so when exposed to the sun. Air bubbles you'll want to take a credit card and squeeze out before the tint sets. And tint can be layered.

You can try moving the bubble and usually you can see if the water kinda leaks forward.

The website is nearly done, I'm just debugging the Paypal express function. It's slow cause I can't send funds to myself to test so I keep bugging my friends to buy something to test it out lol. One thing I learned though.... despite how hot Danica Patrick is, I'll never use Godaddy hosting again.

wait for about a week for everything to dry up.... I remembered mine had tiny dots the size of a pencil eraser which really made me worried at first but it all eventually disappeared

I don't really know as the guy who did my tints was great. But I would say give it a week and if the bubbles are still there, ask the guy to fix it. If you need a new guy, I have a friend who does a great job right up commack road and jericho trnpk intersection and he only charges me $130 if I remember right. I can probably get him to extend that pricing to you, but even if he wouldn't I'm sure it wouldn't be much more, maybe $150?

Well I took a credit card to it last night and it's just water bubbles so if we ever get some sun out here I guess I'm good .
