Tint Question

So I was detailing my car yesterday, and I was cleaning the driver and passenger windows... and I noticed VERY SMALL air bubbles (1 on the drive side, and probably about 6 on the passenger side).... The tint I had was done by the dealership... my question is, should I go back and have them redo it? Or what should I do? I've had the car for about a month and a half now, so "leaving it out in the sun" or waiting won't resolve the issue. Thanks in advance

Alan

Leave it out in the sun, if that fails then take it to the dealer.

I would leave it out for a couple of hours, like 3-5 hours.

That shouldn't make a difference at all. If it's a bubble, it's trapped air. Either it was a mistake by the dealer at the time of install, or it didn't dry properly right after install. I would have them redo it. That's unacceptable.
