Quick Answer: How Long Does It Take to Tint Windows?
Contents

On the average four-door sedan, it can take anywhere between one-and-a-half to two hours.

On cars with lots of glass surface area, steep window rake or complex curves, it could take two hours or more.

Cars like the Corvette can take a while to tint, especially on liftback models featuring the domed rear window.

How long do you have to wait to roll down windows after tint?

If windows are rolled down while the film is still curing to the glass, the tint will most likely peel off. So in order to allow the tint ample time to cure, it’s recommended that you leave your windows rolled up for at least 24 hours after installation (some window film installers even recommend waiting 2-4 days).

How long does it usually take to tint windows?

Tinting all the windows of your car can take anywhere from two to four hours. Full-sized sedans take about one to two hours to install. If you only want to tint your two front doors, thirty to forty minutes is usually the time it takes to tint those windows.
