smash&grab

[arendsbr]

hi guys.i've fitted my car with smash &grab tint yesterday at a recognised place and there seems to be a couple of small air bubbles on the windows.will the bubbles disappear after a while or must I take it back in the week? thanks

whatever you do.... do not open the windows for a while. not even 1cm.

I think it should be 10 days/2 weeks (did my car last year)

basically do not open while there are bubbles. Also do not wash the car.
Meaning if you need petrol, either get out or talk to the attendent through opened door.

bubbles appear as the adhesive dries.

And note cold weather adds a few days.

Just wait for awhile, if it doesn't disappear, take it back. They give you a guarantee.

Took about 3 weeks for the bubbles on my driver's side to disappear.

thanks guys.much appreciated.

I had bubbles for like 2 days, then it went awol.

The dry time is usually 3-4 days or 5-6 days in cold weather.

and whenever possible, ...


let the car stand in the sun.

they should have put stickers on your doors/window switches to prevent you from opening the windows by accident.

If you followed those instructions you shouldn't have any problems.

PGAuto did mine for I think R1500. Rear and side-windows.

As I recall they say 24 or 48 hours on them.

And as I recall you shouldn't park in the sun at all, but it might have been the other way around.

Yeah, it should dry on its own. The sun speeds it up too quickly.
