Anyone know how to fix a small bubble in new window tint?

Hello. I recently had my 540i's windows tinted and was told that some of the bubbles would need a day or two to completely "set". Everything has dried up, but a small (about 2" but 1') close to the windows edge had a bubble that didn't adhere and when I pressed it down, it has left several smaller bubbles and stick out in appearance. The shop that did it has a guy that comes in and does the work, but tracking down this guy is harder then Bin Laden. The tint fits fine and is perfect. It seems if I could shoot some liquid in the area then squeegee it down this would work. or possible just remove it and reapply? If its harder then this, I'll call the shop and get angry from another angle. For $275, I just want it finished.

I think they need to make it right. I think you should pursue it as far as you can with the shop, and only worry about it if they bag out on you.

maybe poke the bubble with a pin? that should allow the trapped air/liquid to escape, and the adhesive will take over from there.

I'd go with "THE", I've done this lots of times, but as you paid good money ask them to fix it

Yes, pierce the bubble and then stick it down. That should work (has worked for me), but if you've paid for a tint job, then you should get a good tint job.
