Default tint question...

So I finally had my tints done this past Tuesday Anyway I didn't really do a thorough inspection of the job until yesterday. I noticed several small/medium sized bubbles on 2 of the windows. I called up the guy to talk about it and he said that it actually takes a few days and sometimes weeks for everything to settle perfectly.

Are the bubbles actually going to go away over the next couple of says or was he just bsing me to get me off the phone?

leave the car in the sun a few hours so the tint can warm up and settle better..

Sometimes the bubbles will go away, sometimes not. It is pretty standard for it to take a few days or a week for most of the bubbles to go away, though. When I had mine done, all of the big bubbles went away, but if you inspect it from about 2-3 feet away, you can see tiny bubbles resembling rock chips (to give you a visual). Those never went away.

The bubbles should go away, its just the little microscopic things that get stuck in between the glass and tint. As the tint adheres more and more the microscpic stuff just gets stuck inside but u can't notice.
If urs isn't like this in a week, take it back and get it redone.
