Default tint problem...bubbles + dust

Hey i got a question for you guys, for those of you that got your IS tinted, how long did it take for your bubbles to go away.
Theres still a lot on my back window. its been over a week already almost 2 weeks. hmm..

Oh yeah, for those who got tints. is like dust that got stuck in between the film and the glass that makes it look kinda ugly, somethign to ask the tint shop to retint? Theres about 3 lumps on my right passenger window and a "fine dot" here and there, thats ok, but the ones i circled in the pic is what im talking about.

Sorry for the delay in pics, you guys REPLY FAST!!
replied b4 i had the pics up. hehe

These TWO pics are my right passenger window.



This pic is my back window, it was hard to get the whole window and have the bubbles visible, so heres a corner, and a bunch more scattered on the rest of the windows near the top/middle.

hmm so i got my tint a few weeks ago and i had no bubbles.. it just looked hazy for a day or so but now it looks great. and if there is dust stuck in between the film and the glass, DEFINITELY have the shop retint it for you! and the lumps should not be there...

seriously the tint should've cured in about three days. HAVE THEM REDO IT! or take it off and refund u so u can take it somewhere else.

because it seems like that was a really bad job that they did

I never had bubbles when I got mine tinted. Only water spots that dried out by the end of the day. There isn't suppose to be any dirt or dust in there either. They should have cleaned the windows before it gets tinted. I suggest you bring it back and make them retint it.

Well , that certainly is a job not well done.

It's not normal a all. Get it re-tinted or get a refund and get it done somewhere else. Because they clearly don't know how to do it.

I got my car tinted on Wednesday and I don't have any bubbles and the tint is dry and looks great. I live in NY and the weather is pretty cold and still the tints dried nicely. I would have them give you a refund and do it in anothe shop. I had tints done to my CL600 about a year ago and the show had to redo 2 windows and they messed them up again and I'll never go back there again. A good shop only needs 1 try to tint windows the right way.

ask them to remove their bad tint job too so that the other shop doesnt charge you for it and ask for a refund.
