How long after applying explosion-proof film can the car windows be opened?

After applying explosion-proof film to a vehicle, windows can be opened after 3 days in summer and 7 days in winter. The film will adhere tightly to the glass, and opening the windows too soon may cause the edges to peel or curl, damaging the film. After application, it's also important to park the car in a sunny area to ensure proper evaporation of moisture under the film, enhancing its effectiveness. Vehicle explosion-proof film is characterized by its clarity; even darker tints should provide clear visibility without distortion or dimness, and maintain color durability. Its primary function is to prevent shattering; in the event of a collision, the film helps avoid glass fragmentation, ensuring passenger safety.
Just took a friend for window tinting a couple of days ago. The tinting technician specifically warned us not to touch the window buttons for at least three days after applying the anti-explosion film. I learned this the hard way - last summer I couldn't resist rolling down the window just half a day after tinting, and the film edges curled up like squid rolls. The adhesive underneath needs time to cure completely. In summer's high temperatures, two days might suffice, but winter requires four to five days. Rainy or humid weather makes it worse - best to use the AC defogger to reduce condensation. Oh, and don't test the edges with your nails; just breathe on it - if it doesn't fog up, the adhesive is dry.
