Default window tinting and the rules

not sure if this is the right place to post this, but at any rate i just got my car tinted. they gave me the spiel of no rolling down windows for 3 days but never said why. if i did roll them down what would happen?

you can damage the tint... it will harden after it cures and then not as easy to damage

There's a fuse for each window. Remove them and you can lower the top. Just be careful that the top doesn't damage the windows...and it's best to have the doors open so the top doesn't damage the tint when you raise it. Good luck

Bubbles can be normal. usually they will disappear within a months time.
if you have bubbles after a month, the tint place will fix it for you.
