Default Getting windows tinted in the winter, problem?

Hey guys,

I was getting ready to go get my windows tinted and someone told me that you shouldnt get it done in the winter because the adhesive might not stick properly due to the cold (it hovers around 30-40 now, spiking into 20's) here in Connecticut and may cause bubbles.

Am I getting BS'd or should I really wait until spring?

it'll probably take longer for everything to completely dry, but that's it. IMO, just discuss this concern with the installer and make sure he provides you with a warranty

Also, make sure to ask him whether or not you'll need the moleskin on the doors. He should know what you're talking about.

If it's an 05-07 I think the moleskin is a definite.

I would just wait until spring if you can, it will take much longer for everything to dry.
