How do I get rid of the bubbles in the tint....

To be more specific on the rear window where the dots are in the top of the window (part of the defroster) the tint dosen't stick and it looks like it's bubbling up. I've seen some people get the colored vinyl that matches their car and cover it up but my paint is way to hard to match, and it would look wierd. So I was just wondering what some other people have tried.

... two tricks i used to do installing vinyl in floors is cut the bubble slightly with a razor and suck the air out with a syringe... or cut it and flatten it out with a putty knife or straight edge.

Thanks, I'll try that, can't make it look any worse than it does already.

I got new window tinting. Was tired of the 'undersea' bubble tint.

window tinting is a pain in the arse. I attempted it with my friend on his Olds 442 and we did not do a very good job at all. we ripped it right off.

Definately need lots of practice to get that stuff to go on right.

First rule of thumb for window tinting. Get stretchable window tint. Lamar films offers a stretchable film. Make sure the tint shop uses Lamar or 3M. They can stretch it with a hair dryer or heat gun.
