It is very common for the newly installed film to show evidence of water bubbles as it is part of the drying process. Don’t be alarmed, this is simply residual moisture trapped under the film that evaporates as the film cures to this window over the drying period mentioned below. It can sometimes take up to 60 days for all the moisture to evaporate. It is important to not touch or press on these bubbles as it will prolong the drying process and damage the film.
