What to do if the car window film bubbles up? Why can't you open the window after applying the car window film?

Nowadays, many car windows will choose to apply film, which can protect the window glass on the one hand and ensure a certain privacy in the car on the other hand. Bubbling of film is a very common thing. What should we do if the car window film bubbles?

What to do if the car window film bubbles

1. If bubbles are found after applying the film

Don't handle it yourself. Take a photo and send it to the store that applied the film to see the reason, or return to the store in time to check whether it is a problem with the film or the construction. A regular film shop will handle it for you.

Note: If the bubbling on the edge is caused by incorrect operation such as raising or lowering the car window in a short period of time, you need to find a film shop to repair it within 24 hours.

2. If you find bubbles after using it for a long time

This means that you have applied a relatively low-end film. Over time, the material will decompose and release gas, causing blistering. It is recommended to tear it off as soon as possible, because these gases are mostly harmful volatile gases such as formaldehyde, which bring odor to the car. The key is that it will be harmful to human health, so the sooner you tear it off, the better.

Why can't you open the window after applying window film?

Strictly speaking, you have to wait 5 to 7 days after the window film is applied before you can raise or lower the window, because the car film has just been applied, and it has not yet been fully bonded, so it needs to be protected to avoid the displacement of the car film when the window is opened. It is important to note that it is best not to wash the car during this period, which is also to avoid the problem of film displacement.

It depends on the weather conditions. If there is no rain or fog, it will take three days in summer. It will take longer in winter, 7 days. Do not open the car windows at will. Within one week after applying the film, try to park in a place where the sun can be exposed to help evaporate the moisture in the car film.

Should I apply film to the front windshield?

Film is recommended.

1. Heat insulation and UV protection

The main function of the film is to block heat and UV rays, especially in summer when the temperature is very high, it can have a certain heat insulation effect. However, because it is the front windshield, the heat insulation effect is not as good as the film on both sides of the car body. After all, the color is lighter. Its real function is to block UV rays, because all year round, even if it is not summer, the sun's UV rays are still very strong, and UV rays are the most harmful to the skin. Long-term exposure to UV rays will cause skin itching, rashes and other allergies.

2. Explosion-proof

When a vehicle is driving, the front windshield is most likely to be hit by stones and rocks brought up by the tires of the vehicle in front, or even by objects suddenly dropped by the vehicle in front on the highway. At this time, the front windshield is easy to break. Once broken, glass fragments will fly everywhere, which can easily cause serious injuries to the driver and passengers. After applying the film, even if the front windshield is unfortunately hit, it will stick together because of the film, ensuring that the glass fragments will not fly around and ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers.
