What to Do If There Are Small Bubbles After Applying the Film?
2 Answers
Solutions for small bubbles after applying the film are as follows: 1. Replace the film: If there are many large bubbles that are difficult to flatten, it is recommended to replace the film entirely, as this not only affects aesthetics but also driving safety. In an emergency, you can gently lift the side with bubbles and then reapply it slowly following the proper procedure. 2. Release the gas: If the bubbles are not too many and are relatively large, you can make a small cut and use a squeegee and heat gun to slowly flatten them; if the bubbles are few and small, you can puncture them with a needle and then press them flat.
When I first noticed small bubbles in the car film, I tried fixing them myself several times. This usually happens due to trapped dust or moisture during installation. I would gently push the bubbles toward the edge using a clean soft card or credit card, slowly squeezing out the air. For tiny bubbles, waiting a few days for the moisture to evaporate might make them disappear. Larger bubbles or those with visible dust require peeling back that small section and reapplying, after spraying some film solution for lubrication. Before installation, thoroughly clean the car glass and ideally work in a dust-free environment to avoid issues later. Never use fingernails or hard objects to scrape, as they may scratch the film. Unaddressed bubbles can shorten the film's lifespan and ruin its appearance, so always inspect carefully after installation—don’t skip this step.
