How long after applying car window tint can you roll down the windows?

You should wait 7 days after applying car window tint before rolling down the windows. After tint installation, the glass becomes tighter, and rolling down windows during this period may cause the edges of the tint film to peel or lift, potentially damaging the film. After tint application, it's recommended to park the car in a sunny location to ensure proper evaporation of moisture from the film, which helps maintain the tint's effectiveness. The newly applied window film hasn't fully adhered yet, and prolonged water exposure can reduce its adhesive properties, potentially causing the film to detach. Therefore, avoid water contact or rain exposure for the first 3 days after installation. If there are stains on the tint film, never use sharp objects to scrape or harsh chemical solvents to clean. Instead, gently wipe with a clean damp towel, sponge, or soft cloth.
