This is another tinting question...^^;;

I heard you can't open windows for like 3days after you get ur windows tinted.

So i was wondering if it's better to get it during summer time or winte time?

Maybe too much UV lights would cause bubbles...or turn them purple...? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

uh.. your actually going to wait till summer time to get your windows tinted? that just dumb to me... summer/winter same ish.. i would even think winter is better anyways since at summer you want the windows open. i know theres the ac but you still open it to let all the hot air out. and winter in cali isnt even that cold... but ya who cares.. winter/summer makes no difference

oh and mine was 1 day, not 3
as for bubble/purple... alot of the tint nowadays are metallic and have a lifetime warranty on fading/bubbling. these usually run around 150. the cheaper 80 ones only have like a 3 year warranty which is still pretty long seeing how thats the average length a person keeps their car... let the other person worry about it.

Tinting in the winter is perfectly fine. It will just take longer to dry that's all.

I did my own tint and I think it depends on the quality of the tint and the quality of the job more than anything else. I guess the windows themselves and how well they seal against the rubber gaskets comes into play too. I squeezed out all of the water from under the tint. I mean all of it. It was bone dry when I was done. I also used the highest quality tint that I could buy. I waited one day and I could roll up and roll down my windows all I wanted. I razored the edge too, so it looks perfect with the windows down.

I think the temp is important when the film is applied and for the first few hours afterward. My tint guy has a heated garage, and the car could jjst be left inside for a few hours.

If you do in the summer, don't you have air condition? Besides, I leave my windows up almost all the time, cause it looks cool with the tint.

PS:

Even in the winter if it's sunny and you park in the sun, your car will warm up inside. Just be sure to turn it around a couple times to get sun on both sides. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
