How long should you keep the windows up after installing window tint?

Published on Oct 14, 2025

Hey folks! This is Brian from AutoCity.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"How long should you keep the windows up after installing window tint?"

 

My Answer

We typically recommend about 3 to 5 days, but we use the heat to cure the window film. Sometimes 2 days are enough.

Summary

AutoCity Window Tint and PPF recommends keeping windows up for approximately 3 to 5 days after tint installation to allow the heat to cure the window film properly.
