Take it back to the shop, it shouldn't take them no longer then 30 minutes, being that they are profesionals. Or you can do it yourself. Grab razor blad carfully slash the bumble small enought just to take out the are. You can also just poke the air bubble and then press down to remove the air.

You mean on the top of the hatchback where the little dot matrix is? If so, they should have used some black vinyl and covered that area before they tinted it. If they didn't, it might be too late. However, they should be able to work it out for you.

I had my car tinted recently and before taking it, I masked off the dot matrix area and sprayed it with flat black engine enamel. Doesn't interfere with vision out the back and looks great too. I'll see if I can find some pics from angles you can actually see it.
