    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Window Tinting questions from a newbie!

I am new owner of an RWD tech package in Parisian gray. So happy having it coming from the limited 2014 Azera. Two observations that led to questions:):
1. Those who tinted their windows, how is the auto dimming of the rear view mirror affected? I can see vertical dotted red lines reflected from the bonded conductors when light from the other cars hits the back glass. I also think that lights are dispersed by the tint instead of directly dimmed by the mirror thus seeing brighter lights at my rear mirror. Is it only me or I am just being obsessive-compulsive?:)
2. Was your tinting perfect? I see scattered small bubbles especially when my windows are clean after I was told to wait for 3 days , is this a concern that I need to get fixed? I have one year warranty .
Thank you for your output!:)

The tint my son got on his car is perfect. All bubbles were gone within 48 hours. If its been longer than 48 hours and the car has been warm inside then you have a problem.
 
I can't answer your first question, but the place I've used to tint my last three cars has left one bubble on one window on one occasion. When I noticed it and called, I was told It would disappear within a week, and while I was doubtful; it did in fact vanish.

Multiple bubbles would have me concerned right off the bat. Also, I have a lifetime warranty on my tinting, so 1 year seems on the light side (no pun intended) for warranty coverage. I would bird dog them until you get a perfect, bubble-free application. They are correct that some time may need to pass for the bubbles to go away, but if they don't within the time frame they specify, I'd be on their door step politely but firmly telling them I want a perfect tint job on my perfect car thank-you-very-much.

I'll do my best to try and remember to check that. I've haven't been distracted by any lights in my rear view at night, so that's a good sign.
