How to remove small bubble in tint
I noticed I have a small bubble forming in my side window tint and I was wondering if theres a way to remove it without actually taking the tint off and putting new tint on. Could I just use a pin to pop it and then smooth it out, or is there a better way? The tint isnt new so I doubt the bubble would stick to the glass. Would I use spray adhesive or something else to make it stick after I popped it?

Does the tint have a lifetime warranty? If so, I'd take it back.
My tint did that almost immediately. They said it was normal and would smooth out. Never did and I could never get the bubbles out even after putting a pinhole in it.

If it was professionally done and there is a warranty, take it back. If you DIY'ed it, you might be able to get away with a pinhole and some liquid adhesive like was used when it was applied, but you might have to make a slit in it.
sounds like your tint is delaminating. (adhesive wears out) ur never goin to get it to stick w/o adhesive. Spray adhesives is goin to show and look terrible. The adhesive on tint is a microscopic film that is clear. Your best bet is to leave it. if it really bothers you that much, remove it.
