If its not gone in a week (with some sun) take it back and make them redo it!

They are telling you the truth. Moisture bubbles are unavoidable under freshly applied tint. Have no fear, your bubbles will disappear.

HEY....I'm a poet and didn't even know it!

cool. i'll leave my car in the sun for a while. there are a few bubbles that dont seem to have any moisture in them ... i cant see any wet spot in it. is this common for a tint job or will the shop redo my whole back windshield for 1 bubble?
