2 Answers
Here are the methods to deal with bubbles in car window tinting film: 1. Replace the film: If there are numerous large bubbles that are difficult to smooth out, it is recommended to replace the film entirely, as this not only affects aesthetics but also compromises driving safety. 2. Use tools to smooth out: If the bubbles are not too many and are relatively large, you can make a small incision and then use a squeegee and a heat gun to gradually smooth them out. 3. Peel and reapply: If the situation arises suddenly with many large bubbles affecting driving safety, you can gently lift the side with bubbles, similar to applying a phone screen protector, and then reapply it following the standard procedure. However, this method is only suitable for emergencies, and it is advisable to replace the film with a new one as soon as possible afterward.
Seeing bubbles in the window tint was really annoying at first. Like with my old car, after two years of use, bubbles started appearing on the film, seriously affecting driving visibility and ruining the car's appearance. Later, chatting with a friend, I learned it was due to poor installation or low-quality film. I tried fixing it myself with a plastic scraper to smooth out the small bubbles, which worked okay, but large bubbles were tough to remove and risked tearing the film. If the bubbles are small, it's worth a try to fix them yourself, but avoid using hard objects to prevent damaging the glass. However, if the problem is severe or the film has aged, it's best to go to a professional tinting shop for a new film—spending a bit saves a lot of hassle. I recommend regularly checking the film's condition during car washes and choosing a reliable brand to prevent this issue.
