Default tint moisture

I just got some tints and there is moisture between the tint and the window. supposedly this is supposed to go away. Has anyone experienced this and if so has it gone away? does rolling the windows up or down do any damage or is it ok?

Default RE: tint moisture

whatever you do, dont roll the windows down for a few days after the tint gets put on. you have to give the adhesive time to cure, if not you will end up with wrinkles. and as far as the moisture, i could only guess that it is adhesive that isnt dry yet, so give it a couple days and see if it goes away. if not, then i would take it back to the shop and have them fix it.

Take a heat gun or blow dryer in one hand and a squeegee in the other, and heat from the top on one side, working the tint with the squeegee on the other side in a horizontal motion. This should get out any remaining moisture from between the film and glass.

DO NOT ROLL YOUR WINDOWS DOWN AT ALL, FOR A FEW DAYS.

The moisture is a common thing, and it just needs to disapate. If you had someone else tint your vehicle, then I would not recommend messing withthe moistureyourself, and just let nature dry it out by itself.
