If there is water under the film, it will sublimate in a
day or two. If it is an air bubble, the installer of my 3M
clear bra told me to pierce it with a pin going in at an angle.
I did so in several spots and the bubbles went away after
pressing on them.

Why didnt you get the ventureshield stuff put on instead of the 3M??

I have an appointment with aerotect on tuesday for the 3M. But apon research ventureshield is alot better then 3M. I'm gonna call areotect monday and see if they carry it.

Do you know if they carry it or not??

Yeah, sometime it goes away, but sometime it doesn't. You might want to take it back to aerotect and they should be able to help you out. They're very nice and helpful.

Sadly, I have a black car and the bubbles never went away...

you can also use a syringe with a small needle to suck the air out of those air bubbles.
