Why Window Tint Bubbles and Turns Purple

Key takeaways

  • Dyes break down in sun over years
  • Poor adhesive lets film lift and bubble
  • Tiny water pockets in new film fade on their own
  • Old film is best removed and replaced

Film is a layered product, and sun is hard on it.

The purple

The dye fades unevenly, so dark film shifts to purple.

The bubbles

Failing adhesive lets air in. New film can have harmless tiny water pockets that go away as it dries.

The fix

Remove the old film and apply new.
