Default Tint - A Little Panic Attack....

Picked up a new 08 GS yesterday (good deals to be had), part of the deal was to put tint on the car. I took the car in today to get the tint done.

I've never had tint before, so was not sure of the process. Anyway, they put the tint on, however, it is ripply (small ripples) and makes things a bit blurry. If you look close, it appears that it is not completely adhered to the glass yet.

I talked to the guy about this, he said after a couple of days, this will work its way out and it'll look just fine, like it was naturally the color of the glass.

Am I getting a smoke screen on this? Anything I should be doing at this point to help this along? They did tell me to not roll down the windows for 5 days.

hah dude, leave the car outside for few days to dry out the liquid they use to apply the film.

nothing to worry about man, just enjoy the car =)

just don't open the windows for now and don't use windex with Ammonia to clean, you'll be fine

yea any small bubbles will work their way out on tint. give it a week or so and it will be gone. i had the same problem on the eyebrow for my windshiel. in the corner was a nice decent size bubble almost the size of a finger nail. after about 5 days, it completely worked its way out and now you cant even tell its there.
