i dont believe they will go away, in fact they will probably get worse

monitor it for another day or so, and meanwhile, give the dealer a ring to inform them it's happened and maybe arrange for it to be re-done, or whatever they can do for you.

your tinting should come with a warranty of some sort

In most cases, bubbles should go away after 2-3 days but some films (high-end ones) take longer to dry than others. If it's still there after further 2-3 days, you should get them fixed as it's highly unlikely that it will go away.

hey teknoman,

i too noticed my new 05 sportivo had a couple of bubbles in the tinting but with very little fuss it iss getting fixed up next week. my tinting came with a lifetime guarantee

so i would check out what sort of warranty your tinting comes with. i guess it might be dependant if you got the tinting done through the dealer or on your own :)

Good choice... Thorpy says the Ming Titanium Tint if 'fully sik'!!! :P

an oldie but a goodie :D

I got the Ming Titanium too, and it is great..

I did notice that where most tints lose their bubbles & streaks after about 2 days, the Ming takes about 4.

I had mine done on the Thursday, Windows down Saturday (for the Dyno) and everything was clear by Monday...

Whats good about the Ming Titanium tint anyway?

Is tinted windows standard on the Sportivo?

Tinted windows are NOT standard on the Sportivo.

What is good about the Ming Titanium???

The fact that it is one of the few darkish tints that actually work.

People think that they can tint their cars for $99.00 and have a tint that looks good and works.

12 months later, the tint goes purple, bubbles, tears and fades and the get sunburnt arms...

I do not know anybody that has outlayed that little bit extra for the Ming Titanium and been dissapointed...

i was quoted 500 for the ming tint, although i got it included with the car

Mine was $500 rrp when I rordered it (6 months after getting the car) but I ended up only being quoted $350.

Then I ended up getting it for $275 cash through a mte who can get trade prices... :P

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.

      Rock sliders installation

      I've recently had a company install a set of Phat rocksliders and they've told me they hadn't fitted the centre bracket on the left side due to lack of clearance from the fuel tank and chassis rail. Is there a way to install this without dropping the fuel tank?
