What to Do If There Are Bubbles After Applying Window Tint?
2 Answers
Solutions for bubbles after applying window tint include: 1. If there are many large bubbles that are difficult to smooth out, replace the tint film with a new one; 2. If there are not too many bubbles but they are relatively large, make a small cut and use a squeegee and heat gun to slowly smooth them out; 3. If there are few small bubbles, puncture them with a needle and press them flat. The functions of window tint include: 1. Blocking heat generated by infrared rays; 2. Filtering ultraviolet rays to prevent skin damage; 3. Safety and explosion-proof, as the film has strong resistance to tearing and penetration; 4. Privacy and security; 5. Reducing air conditioning load; 6. Minimizing accidents caused by glare.
I've personally experienced bubbles in window tinting, which is quite annoying. Small bubbles are mostly caused by air not being completely expelled during installation or incomplete evaporation of moisture. In the first few days after application, some small bubbles may appear. If they're not too large, you can try using a credit card wrapped in a soft cloth to gently press the bubbled area to flatten it. Never use sharp objects to scrape, as this may scratch the film. Wait a few days, and the bubbles often disappear on their own in warm weather. If the bubbles are too large, contain dust, or don't improve after pressing, you should go to a professional auto detailing shop where technicians can use tools to re-squeegee or perform local repairs. Some poor-quality film materials are also prone to bubbling, so choosing a reputable shop and brand is crucial. Remember not to wash the car or expose it to direct sunlight for a week after application to allow the film to fully adhere. Once, I went for a cheap option at a roadside shop, and the next day there were large bubbles everywhere - I regretted it deeply. I quickly went to a professional shop to have it redone, which solved the problem. During regular car maintenance, pay extra attention to the condition of the film, especially on the windshield, as bubbles can affect visibility - safety comes first.
