Got some tint roll the other day and applied it to my car a few hours ago, its left a few bubbles around the outside that no matter how hard i try i cannot get out with the squeegy... Any tips or advice from you guys to get it out in the morning when theres more light?

Its the rear window, it has been shrinked for a corsa b and so it is curved and ready to go straight on.

it seems to be around the dot matrix its leaving the air bubbles

help please!

pin prick the holes so the air can escape.

sometimes they disappear on their own after a few days.

should use a heat gun and baby oil when applying the tint, if u use a card of some sort and a heat gun on the other side of the glass it goes on without any creases or bubbles. practice makes perfection though. probably cheaper to pay a professional though as roll is not cheap

i do it for a living, you normally do get it around the matrix as its raised from the glass but as said try pin pricking then squeege it or get a heat gun on it and heat it and squeege at same time to chase it out i take it youve done the boot glass? if you have no bubbles/creases in that you have done well if you havent done it before
