Default Suntek PPF Installation Issue Questions

I had pre-cut sections Suntek PPF installed on the front bumper on Monday and when I picked the car up, I notice what appeared to be bubbles at the top edge under the headlight.

When I pointed it out, the installer said it was solution and would dry up. I accepted the explanation and parked the car facing the NC afternoon sun thinking it would speed up the drying. It is probably paranoid on my part but I have repositioned the car daily for maximum sun exposure since then and nothing has changed. Yesterday, while looking closer, I found a lot more “bubbles” (see below).

How long should I wait to take it back to the installer and what should they do to fix it.

I had PPF installed on 3/4 of my car and only had one small bubble. It was gone within a week. Try hitting them with a blow dryer.

Better yet take it back to the installer and have him correct the problem.

I tried using a blow dryer and it didn't help; I went back to the installer and they have ordered new film...let's hope they get it right this time.
