What to Do When Car Film Bubbles After Three Years?
2 Answers
Car film bubbling after three years can be resolved by visiting a film shop for reapplication. Below is relevant information about car films: 1. Introduction: Car film refers to a thin layer applied to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of a vehicle. This thin layer is also known as solar film or explosion-proof heat-insulating film. 2. Functions: It primarily blocks ultraviolet rays, reduces heat, prevents injuries caused by sudden glass shattering, and reduces glare. Additionally, due to the one-way visibility feature of solar films, it helps protect personal privacy. Furthermore, it minimizes damage to interior items and passengers from UV exposure, lowers the car's interior temperature through physical reflection, reduces the use of air conditioning, thereby decreasing fuel consumption and saving costs.
My car's window tint started bubbling after three years, which is quite common mainly due to improper air removal during installation or using low-quality film. Over time, adhesive aging and thermal expansion/contraction can cause bubbles. When this happens, don't attempt to scrape it off yourself as you might damage the glass - just drive to a professional tint shop to have it completely removed and replaced with new film. Before applying new film, check if it's genuine branded material to avoid similar issues. Don't ignore the bubbles - they're annoying during daytime and can cause dangerous glare at night affecting visibility. Remind technicians to check the film condition during regular maintenance to prevent problems. After switching to high-quality film this time, it's remained perfectly smooth for over two years, making driving much more pleasant. With experience, you'll learn that window tinting isn't something to cheap out on - always go to reputable shops for installation.
