when i went to tint my back side windows in my Bronco II it seemed that the tint would not flatten out and settle because of the bubble windows. has anyone else had this issue? if so how do i fix it without having to take it to a professional?
 
My rears are tinted. I bought it like that though.

Have you tried the credit card method?
 
yeah, i tried smoothing it out every way i could think of, credit card, puddy knife, slit and smooth. but i just cant seem to get the ones at the top out.
 
I did mine in two horizontal pieces and overlapped about an 1/8".
 
Use LOTS of solution and a hair drier.. Works everytime for me
 
Take your tint film on the outside of your window and a lot of solution and an extra 4 inches or so on each side of your tint, take a heat gun and start working at one corner. It will look like it is crinkling up but keep the heat gun there and it will flatten out. Do this process for the entire side working in small sections. Search on YouTube for the heat shrink method of tinting and you will understand the process. I use it on all my windows but with anything flat it doesn't make a huge huge difference but with the curves like on your b2 and on rear windows of cars it makes a huge difference. It essentially molds the tint and conforms to the curve. It should fix your problem. Just don't burn a hole in your tint
 
Poke a hole in the bubbles with a needle.
