So i got my tints about 32 hours ago and i accidentally rolled my window down. The guy said 2 days so you think it will bubble or anything?
Oh ya the window only rolled down a few inches

I waited a few days and opened the windows and it bubbled, ended up having to get the whole tint job done again. Depends on the kind of tint as well.
Where did you go for your tints out of curiosity?

hey man, a few things:
ive gotten quite a few cars tinted over the years and this is what i have experienced.
about 4-5 hrs after i got the job done my idiot friends rolled down some of my windows. i checked up on them every now and then after that and after a week i didnt notice any bubbling that was caused by the windows being rolled down. the only bubbles i had were caused by dust that got trapped while the windows were being done.
most places that u get ur windows tinted will warranty their work. For example the place i got my mine done will give u a lifetime warranty, if it EVER bubbles, u just take it back to them and ask them to re-do it. they only thing u loose is ur time. but dont go back and be like "Hey man, i accidently rolled down my windows and now they're bubbling"...ya know wut i mean. just say that the job wasnt as good as u'd like it to be and would want the windows with the bubbles re-done.
any respectable tint place will aknowledge that and re-do it!

Wow that's crazy. I've always been told 24 hours, and none of my tint has ever bubbled on any of my cars.

Rolling them down won't cause the bubbles, it will cause the edges to possibly peel and come lose, thats all. Bubbles are usually caused by the installer.

It should be ok . I rolled mine down hours after getting tinted.

I rolled mine down about 4 hours after I got it done. It was fine.... Cause in cali it's to damn hot to need a few days to dry.

it should be fine... My friend tints windows for a living... but I would not recommend doing it again. It'll be fine... the 2-3 day waiting limit is just to ensure the glue sticks really well. Any respectable tinting place will fix any bubbles
