after clear bra installation

Does anybody had streak marks after a clear bra installation? It looks like it comes from the squeegee that they use to install the film.


Thanks,

I have a clear bra on my '05 525i and there are no stretch marks at all. Given that I have a white car there are some VERY SLIGHT signs of "yellowing" at certain angles though.

Thanks, I heard that I just need to expose the car in the sun to cure. I look at the car again its not a stretch mark, it looks more like a streak marks from the tool they use to install the film is that normal?. Are you using 3M?

Thanks,

I have a 3M clear bra (on a white e60) and can't tell any difference from the normal paint on the car with the ever so slight yellowing on my Alpine white car.

Are you talking about the plastic being scraped, or about water marks under it from dirty water. I've seen neither on the cars around here. It's pretty much invisible. Take it back and tell them to make it right.

If you wait three weeks to complain, it is possible a business could say "it is your fault, should have told me sooner." This way you would be on record that if the problem doesn't cure itself you'll have proof it was already there.

Yes I did call my installers they said after couple of weeks if I still see some streaks or stretch marks they will replace it. The marks are very light.
