Answer: Window tint can be applied to your vehicle in any type of weather because the film goes on the inside of the window. The film may take a little longer to cure depending on weather conditions. The moisture in the film needs to evaporate to complete the curing process. We recommend you not roll your windows down for 3 days after the film is applied no matter what type of weather.
