Another cool ride today.  The new Santa Fe is looking rather Rover-ish.  
 
 

Suede door panels and dash.  The seats are awesome and the wrap around controls are pretty cool, even if it is only the a/c.

There are many vehicles that I pass on because Water and electronics don't mix.  When we tint windows we use water that gets in places and on electronics that it really shouldn't. Sometimes this causes issues. It is a risk we both take(installer and customer).  Usually there are no issues and everything is just fine.  In some cases there are slight issues that go away. In that short period of time it did not cause corrosion.  It might have messed up something due to the water shorting something out.  A lot of times it goes back to working fine after it dries completely.  

UltraVision is the only decent quality with a lifetime warranty. However, $$$$ for a basic film that does not block heat on most of the options. If their dealer pricing was better, we would carry them.

Are you certain it's the film and not the actual windshield?  
 
You will not be able to "fix" a ripple in film.  If you do remove it inspect the windshield carefully though.  Could well be the glass has issues.

I wish it was a 2dr hatch but it’s still cool.  New Integra   

Whew.  I am worn out.     My "new to me" truck DOES NOT have the “easy to shrink” windshield.    

Woohoo. An easy Audi

You REALLY need to learn to dry shrink.  That type of finger would not happen and would be way easier to manipulate before failure.  
 
It's not about the time you wait for the prep surface to dry, it is about the ease of shrinking difficult windows without them being difficult. Dry shrinking makes our work so much easier.  Your quality of installs will go way up and time spent on tough back glasses or windshields will go way down.  The stress of doing a difficult shrink is way less once you learn the ropes of dry shrinking.   If you want to improve your craft and get better at installs you are probably gonna have to learn to dry shrink sooner or later.   

Wet shrinking has advantages but it also has limitations. I'd learn a good dry shrink technique, then follow up with a wet check.
You can get a lot more shrink into a piece doing it dry with a lot less stress on the film.

Dry shrink is akin to moving from the horse and buggy age to the age of automobiles; not only innovative, but you find yourself getting to your destination quicker. Dry shrink is also less damaging to the chemical properties of the film itself.
 
And like Bham has pointed out in different words, work smart not harder. TD mentioned the wet check after dry shrinking, which is a technique used by many in the early stages of learning to dry shrink.

Plenty of demos on Youtube.
