Need some advice on window tint I had done...

[Kenny]

I took her in to a pretty reputable shop to have the back windows blacked out (5% charcoal) and the driver and passengers done at 50% charcoal. Product is Sun-Gard Endurance.

It's been a week now and the back looks great, but the front sides are just full of tiny fish eyes, it looks like I'm seeing through a window with tiny water droplets on it. They are had to see but the mini distortions are quite visible...

Now is this normal at first?
(It's also been cold) Will heat and time make this go away? To me it looks like a poor installation, but that is hard to believe from this shop (unless a noob did it..).

I have a lifetime warranty and they'll likely redo it if I ask, but will I get the same result again?

Thanks.

the shop i had all of my other cars tinted at told me that the tint should be fully finished after 3 days... did you roll down the windows right away? i was told not to roll them down for a few days after they were done to make sure everything was dried.. maybe longer in the winter?....i would wait until it warms up some to get it redone, installation is easier when its hot out imho

yup, I have yet to roll em down after a week. I'm wondering if they are still curing since it's cold.

I don't think I've ever had tint done in the winter, but on my last three vehicles, there were no bubbles whatsoever and there was no curing time. They looked great from the time I picked them up. They generally use heat guns and space heaters and whatnot in the shop to help speed up the drying process - it sounds to me like they stopped a little early to save time. I don't know whether this problem will correct itself over time, but in cold damp weather, I have my doubts.

That should never happen. Take it back and use your warranty.

Agreed. Take it back!
