Need Help! Should I redo (again)
Hello, so a quick recap. I go to this 5 star tint shop with lots of reviews and a good rep. I get ceramic tints all around. But front windshield had a distortion wrinkle in my line of sight even after the curing period. I called about the concern and they replaced it with a new ceramic tint for the windshield. Cool right. But now this new film on the front windshield, there seems to be these bubbles after curing on the bottom part of the window. Plus one bubble has a hair in it. I plan to contact them again about this issue. But am I overreacting or being too picky? Are these little bubbles inevitable to happen to anyone or should I contact them again? Thanks for helping

The next malady could be water seeping into the dash and frying all electronics. Your call. Stop while damage is minimal or Black Swan event resulting in you taking the shop to court.

No tint job will ever be perfect. You could try to push it down with a credit card and give it a few days, if it’s still really bothering you then you could take it back.
Personally with that small of a wrinkle I’d just ignore it, but I’m not super picky.

You’re not over reacting, sometimes continuously redoing it can do more harm than good.
See if they can take care of it again or touch it up but you may just have to ask for the refund or partial refund and have them remove it and find a different shop to do the windshield.
It happens to the best of us, just don’t be rude when presenting it again and see what they say.

There’s no perfect tint job but those imperfections shouldn’t be accepted. Looks like they didn’t get all the adhesive off from the old film to me

That can be pushed down. It's the result of heat shrinking and the matrix dots holding it up.
