New tints

I picked up my car around noon and it has bubbles in the tint
both sides and rear. I was told this is normal????? and will go away in a few days. The guy said I have to bring it back next week for their inspection and will issue a lifetime warranty or replace the tint. (they have good rep)
Just asking if anyone else had this experience?

yea you need to let it all dry, it will evaporate and stick once it settles. one week later then see what it looks like.

OK Over a week and some, there are still "tiny" bubbles in the tint. Maybe bubbles is the wrong word but i can see very tiny spots, kinda like water stains?
Don't get me wrong, happy with the job, just curious.

did you clean the tint yet? you need to get a wet cloth (yes completely wet almost dripping) with water and wipe down the insides very well. there is still alot of residue and stuff they use. it gets everywhere and must be removed. once you wash them with the water cloth, dry them off and polish clean with a microfiber. post some pic after that if the problem is still there. you will always have some bubble and wrinkle since its still just film and cant be applied perfectly, especially on our cars with all those bumpy places around the window.
