PPF bubble advice
Hi. I have ppf in my f31 door jambs. There are some bubbles after 3 weeks since I put it on. I live in norway so temperature has probably been averaging around 7-8c for those 3 weeks, car is parked in cold well vented garage.
I was thinking of popping the big ones with a insulin needle. But since im new to this, I'd rather ask people with more experience before I start doing anything. Does anyone think these will vaporate by themselves through summer or should I go ahead with the needle? Im not worried about air bubbles, but water bubbles and the fear of rustspots is what will keep me up at night... Thanks. |

I actually just finished the whole front end of my DD VW Id4 with SunTek.
I think the smaller ones should go away on their own (if the temperatures are high enough for the water to evaporate. The bigger ones should be popped. Spray boiling water on the film and work the bubbles into a larger one if you can. Use the smallest needle you can find and slowly squeeze the bubble from the opposite end. If the needle in the film and move it in/out while you squeeze. My buddy is a professional PPF installer and he told me don't leave the bubbles too long because the adhesive might cured and won't stick. Good luck |
