just got my new car and had checkered roof and sport stripes installed by the dealer (for a lot of $$$ I might add). When looking closely there are some bubbles. Is that to be expected even from a professional installation? I am thinking about showing them to the dealer and getting them fixed - probably means a new install - but I do not want to be unreasonable. I have no personal experience with installing graphics and maybe it is unavoidable to have some bubbles?

 

If you let it sit in the sun for a day or two the bubbles may disappear. However, if the you paid for the vinyl installation I would expect a flawless job. Very small and infrequent bubbles may be unavoidable, so make sure you're not being overly picky. Anyway, the worst that could happen by showing them is that they won't fix it, so if it's easily noticeable I would show them and just see what happens.

Good luck!

 

The bubbles are normal, I had them when I had my stripes installed, they go away after a while.
