Window Tint Help

[cagilber]

I had my windows tinted (on my new car) at the dealership last week (by the company that does the tinting for them). It looks pretty good, but there are a few "problem" areas that have me concerned.

Anyone that knows anything about tinting think this spot of bubbles will eventually work it's way out?

That does not look normal to me. Do you have a written warranty? I would take it back for a retint.

That's a terrible tinting job. I'd take it back and make them fix it.

They will not work out, it needs to be re-tinted.

FineLine Window Tinting ([ Fine Line Window Tinting :: Welcome ]) is the one that does tinting for the Bob Poynter dealership in Columbus.

It was done last Thursday and it still looks like that. There's a couple other spots where there are bubbles that seem abnormal, but maybe they aren't. I'll call my salesman tomorrow and let him know I'm coming in on Thursday when the tint guy is there.

That's a crappy tint job, not sure where you are located but Walter's body shop in Greenwood do an outstanding tint (317) 881 8819 ask for Duane Walters his wife does the tinting

Give it a full week before u take it back.

Sometimes if you're lucky, you can take a pin, prick the tint to allow a small pinhole for the air/water-soap mixture to escape and press the tint back down smooth. I've used this trick on my own when I use to do tint, though since you had yours professionally done I'm guessing this may void their decision to make it right. I agree with the above suggestion, wait a week. It's been hot, but it's also been very humid which could also cause the delay in all the slight imperfections working their way out.

Poor tint job, and illegal, but I'm sure you know that. Small bubbles can be pricked with a needle and pushed out with a credit card. A lot of bubbles are almost impossible to get rid of. If you are going to get it retinted do it soon. Good luck..
