I just had my windows tinted 20% today in my bmw. On the way home i noticed a bubble in the bottom of the window. The bubble is probably a half an inch long and its on the bottom part of the tent on my window. Will a bubble like this go away or should i have them fix it?Will the bubble in my window tint go away?
its an air bubble it will not go away on its own take the car back and have it fixedWill the bubble in my window tint go away?
The bubble will most likely not ever go away. Since you went and paid to have this done, you need to take it back to them and have them fix it. If you wait very long they probably won't fix it for you. If it were me I would be there the first thing in the morning waiting on their door step to get it repaired. The sooner the better.Will the bubble in my window tint go away?
Bubble is result of air trap..... it will not going away. air expand during hot weather so you will see it bigger later.
Quick fix. use a fine needle. poke a hole and squeeze the air out.
Sometimes it will go away and most of the time it won't. It should have been bubble free when you got it back.

What kind of window tint should i use?
I am planning on putting window tint on my 1990 BMW 525i. Im using www.snaptint.com which lets me choose the front and rear shades and the color. the options are 80%, 50%, 35%, 20%, 5%. And for the color: Neutral, Charcoal, True Gray, Bronze, and Blue.
What rear and front combination and color would look best on an alpine white 525i?
Should i get the front windshield strip as well?What kind of window tint should i use?
Go with a charcoal neutral look and try to adhere to your tint laws particularly if you live in a state where they meter the glass during an inspection.What kind of window tint should i use?
What are your state regulations? Tint it too dark and you can get hit with a fat ticket and made to remove it. Expensive. Additionally most cars have some tint from the factory and anything you add is cumulative. If your state says max 35% and you buy 35% tint you could be too dark. That's why I have mine done by tint shops that have to comply with the state regulations. In the long run it's cheaper. Plus, if it bubbles, they have to fix it.

Window tint for my kitchen window?
I am looking to get colorful window tint for my kitchen window- maybe something that has a design on it. I have tried looking on the web. Does anyone know if there is such a thing? I don't want boring plain tint. Something fun. I can't afford stained glass, although that would be nice too.Window tint for my kitchen window?
Last year at either Lowes or Home Depot they had some stick on stuff (kind of like contact paper) in all different designs that were about $39.00 .
I remember they had hummingbirds;; tulips; stained glass;
diamond shapes; about 12 deifferent designs;
I don*t know if they still carry it or not but you can ask. It was in a roll but I forget how many square feet it covered.There is also a web site I found by Googleing window film or window coverings.Glass spray paint comes in green or frosty.at Wal Mart; try masking tape in a latice design and paint it. Google Window Decals; (all kinds of web sites)Window tint for my kitchen window?

Is there a new nationwide car window tint law?
My friend keeps telling me that there is a nationwide window tint law that allows a 30% tint in the front windows. I've been looking it up but can't find anything. By the way I'm from new york where law is 70%.Is there a new nationwide car window tint law?
Nope. State by state.
There's no money in it for Washington to get involved. Yet.Is there a new nationwide car window tint law?
Many states do not allow front window tint at all ( Fl and Ca are 2). The reason is that police have been killed by people with guns behind the windows. In some states front tinted windows are a primary stop in others you have to be stopped for another offense before you will get a ticket.
If it was legal it would be offered as a popular factory option on new cars. I have never seen it driving by any new car lots.Is there a new nationwide car window tint law?

this site will break it down for you state by state. no nation wide law. this is why automobiles come from the factory with hardly any tint to the windows on most 4 door and 2 door models, only the back windows on 2 door cars and trucks come with factory tinting because some states allow no tint at all on the front windows.
No, states have the right to make their vehicle and driving laws that's why each state have different laws in these areas. It's common sense no need to look it up on the internet.

I have a car that window tint removed how do i remove the stickyness on the window?
i have a 2000 dodge neon that had window tint removed and left sticky stuff on the back window. i would like to put new tint on it. how do i remove the residue?I have a car that window tint removed how do i remove the stickyness on the window?
Razor blade the best -fastest and easiet way, follow with a good cleaner like windex.
The window tint glue is water base. Use glass cleaner and a NEW single edge razor blade. Soak the window with the cleaner, wait about 30 seconds %26amp; scrape.I have a car that window tint removed how do i remove the stickyness on the window?
try krud off or goo be gone
there is a product in most stores that sell tint that is made for that,I have a car that window tint removed how do i remove the stickyness on the window?
If you're going to have the tint put in by professionals, thay'll clean it, If you're going to do a home-made job, then you can try WD-40.
Alcohol, or you can get a product called Gum Out (or something like that) at OfficeMax or Staples.
Try Nail Polish Remover
go to the hardware store and buy some adhesive cleaner...you probably don't need the heavy duty one's like goo gone. i would almost say to try vineger...that might work. but if not, just go buy a liquid adhesive cleaner. or using a new blade and water, clean it off.

Magic American Corporation
I think you can get it at the grocery store or hardware store.
Acetone will work. Don't get any on the interior though. Put some on a rag and then wipe it off,
I would try the products that are for this purpose. If you do use a razor blade, use a new one and DO NOT drag the blade backwards. ALWAYS forward. The reason is, dragging it backwards can cause any hard particals to scratch the glass as they are drug under the blade, where going in the forward direction "lift's" the particals up onto the blade. Soapy water also helps lubricate the blade and less chance of scratching.
Good luck!

How do you tint a window with a frame?
How do you tint a car's side window that has a frame? I just started learning how to tint windows, and I'm having trouble with windows with frames. How do you cut the shape? Anyone have any idea? Suggestions? Tips?How do you tint a window with a frame?
I have done this and it works well. Take a piece of paper and an exacto knife. Put the paper on the glass and carefully cut the paper to the exact size of the window. Then take the paper and use it as a template to cut your tint. You should have a duplicate.
Simply apply the tint as usual....
