How long should you wait to roll down windows after car window tinting?
1 Answers
After car window tinting, wait 3 days before rolling down windows, and ideally 7 days in winter. After the tint is applied, try to avoid frequently rolling windows up and down within 3 days, and ensure you don't easily open the sunroof when driving on highways during this period. This is because the newly applied film hasn't fully adhered yet - prolonged exposure to water can reduce the film's adhesive strength, potentially causing it to peel off. When parking, choose sunny locations to ensure complete evaporation of moisture trapped under the tint. Additional notes: Post-tinting precautions: After car window tinting, wait 3 days before rolling down windows (7 days recommended in winter). Avoid frequent window operation for 3 days and refrain from opening the sunroof during highway driving in this period. The fresh film needs time to properly bond - extended water exposure weakens adhesion and may cause peeling. Always park in sunny spots to facilitate complete moisture evaporation from beneath the tint.
