LosAngelesLGT Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 i am pretty sure thats just water between the film and glass that they use during install. It should all dry up and go away in a few days especially if its warmer out and sun heats them up. Keep your eye on it but i think it will go away. Normal. You need to give it a week so that moisture can evaporate. Pretty silly for the tint guy not to mention that. That's a lot more then what my windows looked like right after install, but you do have to allow a few days to let it dry. Hopefully you'll get some nice warm sunny days to help the process. I'd still call the guy who did it, but I wouldn't worry about it just yet. Be sure not to roll down the windows for a few days. ^All that. If it does not go away in a week to 10 days call him back and get it redone. Dont wait more than 2 weeks and dont mess with it - let it dry out. It does in 72hr in sunny SoCal. Almost all tint guys have some sort of satisfaction promise - mine is "lifetime". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 This is why when I got my windows tinted, I did it when the weather was already warmed up.... around June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's his job to ensure the glass is clean before he applies the new tint. 2011 Volvo S60T6 & 2013 Volvo XC60T6 Polestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 on a side note - is there any way to get scratches out of tint? there must have been a small rock in the rubber window guide, as i have a nice long curved scratch that follows the window path on the passenger side front window...

LouzGT Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'm got my tints done $140 for all 5 windows with a lifetime warranty I feel that was a pretty good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDubbs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Tint prices vary wildly with locale. Cheaper in the southwest on account of the number of talented competitors, pricier in the northern states. YMMV of course but this is my experience. No, the name has nothing to do with bragging about 20 inch wheels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
