Even if you can't see it, it's best to get it fixed straight away if you only have a limited warranty.  As time goes on, a small bubble becomes a big bubble.  This is where lifetime warranty comes in handy.

yeah its life time warranty :rolleyes:

Has the bubble just appeared? Some bubbling is caused when the tint is applied and settles over time. Usually 2 or 3 weeks. If these bubbles have been there since day dot and haven't reduced any, then yeah - straight back to them. If they have been there since the tint was applied and are slowly getting smaller, then give it another week or so.

The best way to help the tint settle is to treat it like a pot plant and give it heaps of sunlight....

haha so in other words

best bet would be if its under warranty NOT to prick it with a pin cus otherwise you WILL void your warranty and then the guy wil be like

other than that if you dont have tint warranty then sunny's idea is a top idea cus there is nothing else that can be done

      Long start time when engine warm - 2004 Corolla

      Hi guys, I’m a long time Toyota owner, and am currently enjoying a 2004 Corolla Wagon with the 1.8 1ZZ-FE. The car starts and drives really well, however during warm starts (after sitting for 5 minutes) the car cranks for around 6-8 seconds before starting. It’s worth noting the following: - The car starts right away in the morning or if it hasn’t been driven for a couple of hours. - There is no indication of rough idle or fluctuations when driving - Outside air temperature doesn’t seem to make a difference I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this issue? I’m leaning towards vapour lock in the fuel rail caused by leaky injectors? I’d appreciate any advice or if anyone has had a similar issue with their car. Thanks very much in advance, Oakley

      Head Unit with Apple CarPlay

      Hi gillystylez, the link for your car and stereo is https://aerpro.com/vehicles/toyota/toyota-rav4-2013 I am not to sure with yours but you will need the APP9 Harness and Patch Lead, double DIN facia plate, possibly the T Harness (for adding aftermarket bluetooth car kits), double check with a supplier of the kits (Super Cheap, Repco...) to make sure of what you will need and get a quote on fitment or harness. I had to buy HEAPS more cables with the JVC unit and it was very expensive. Hope that helps!

      Brand new Prado 2022 with intermittent engine/transmission stutter

      Gday Doug (600C), I have a 2023 GXL that from new that has a ‘whoo-whoo’ sound at similiar revs that you describe. Its most anoying at 75km/hour in top gear under load ie. up a slight hill. Toyota guy cant give an explaination but says he drove another one with only 1000kms on the clock and did the same. Have you found a cure or diagnosis at all?

      Corolla 2007/2008 ZRE152 2ZR-FE Hood insulator

      I immediately thought of sound deadener material which is available from JayCar as a potential solution. https://www.jaycar.com.au/combination-butyl-foam-super-sound-deadener/p/AX3689

      Corolla 2007/2008 ZRE152 2ZR-FE Hood insulator

      Hi, I've tried to get a hood insulator from Amayama OEM suppliers and Sydney wreckers with no luck. Wreckers usually sell hoods/bonnets with them attached. I called Toyota and unbelievably. they sell them for $700 plus. Is there a way to repair? or get some insulator material to make my own? My one is crumbling and cracked.

      Issues starting first time, sometimes

      Hi all, For some reason my 2012 Prado is having dramas starting first time every so often. Regularly serviced 192k KMs. Sounds really rough during initial failed attempt to start. Then on second attempt will start fine no drama's. Sometimes I can hear a little bit of that initial struggle during a cold start and will still start. Everything else seems to be running fine. Thinking it could be a fob or immobiliser issue? Have had the same result with both main and spare key fob. Booked mechanic in a couple of weeks for diagnosis but hoping to point him in the right direction. First video is the no start and the second is immediately after appearing fine. Cheers! cold start fail.mp4 success.mp4
