well, i did have 5%, i have 20% now. with the 5% i couldnt even see out the windows at night, it was silly and dangerous. but the 5% tint was done by a guy who has a reputation for being very good. there were definitely a couple really really small bubbles down near the bottom of the back window, but they were sometimes hard to find myself. all the other small imperfections cured out within a couple weeks.

I left the car in the drive way for 7 days with all the windows closed, so that the tint can bake and dry. When I rolled it down for a test....Sh*t load of bubbles appeared....

The smaller ones started to fade but I doubt the big ones will. I am going to give about 2 weeks more and if it doesn't go away, I will call him for answers..

W213 '17 E43 ///AMG - W211, W208 no more
it also depends on the method your installer used to heat & dry the tint after installing it....

I thought i was purchasing 20% tints all around and 30% windshield but when a trooper pulled me over one time, his meter read it @ 11% Regardless, I was told both times i got two vehicles tinted not to roll the windows down for 48 hours... You shuld have a lifetime warranty anyway so if you arent happy take it right back and have them do it over..
