I had my windows retinted 3 days ago and was wondering how long you guys wait to roll down the windows?

I've heard if the temperature is above 60, you should wait no less than 2 days or even up to a week. If you're worried about it not sticking, take a hair dryer, set it on low, and just warm the tint up. That'll speed up the drying process.

After typing that... I don't know if that'll cause peeling or bubbling in the future, so it's up to you if you try that method or not.

When I got my sides tinted the guy put tape over the window switches and said not to roll them down for 24 hours. Well i waited that long then i rolled them down. I looked at it the next day it had bubbles in it! So i called the guy and asked why they are there and he said they would go away in a week. They did . 24 hours is plenty of time. All that has to happen is all the fluid must dry out between the flim and window.

thanks guys

I was told two days but I waited until today to roll them down which was 4 days. Actually my friend rolled them down for me on accident(he didn't know)and they were ok after that.

Depending on the temp, Wait up til 3 days. Just to be safe. I wouldnt advise speeding up the drying process. Its not that bad to have your windows up, Use the heat/ac .... 3 days aint that bad and believe me its well worth the wait. Tint looks great!
