After installing XPEL window tint, we recommend waiting at least 3 to 5 days before rolling down your windows to allow the film to fully cure and adhere properly.

Rolling down the windows too soon can cause the edges of the tint to peel or shift, so it’s best to wait the full recommended time for optimal results.
