DamanC Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hello mate, this problem is usally down to where a cheap film has been applied. If you have a light smoke then the film is going to be really really thin which bubbles under heat there is no way od curing it tbh, and you may want to get it retinted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Pete, mines been that way for a while now but I've been too busy driving it than fixing it, I think the only way to fix it is to get it replaced. I'm sure its got to do with the rear window heater filaments drying out the adhesive on the film. I'll get round to it one day, got bigger problems to worry about first tho.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 you can reheat the film with a hairdryer and try to smooth it out if it isnt too bad but you will be very lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Thats bollox mate! You should not lose your elements provided its taken off properly, what a load of bobbins!* take it somewhere else or do it yourself * dont quote me on it thou. I pimp tints on the net so will contact my tinter and find out exactly for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
