Not sure if I'm the only one with this problem.... Anyways, my tints are all scratched up, starting from the edge of the window to about an inch down and I only had tints for 5 months, can't imagine how they would look after a year.
My guess is, the front windows are too thick. My 3GS did not have dual pane winows and this problem....

Do you have the Cold Weather Package with the double-pane windows? Some guys have gotten the double-thick side windows installed to deal with excessive wind/road noise. I wonder if this would cause the tinting to get scratched up

Yeah, mine has cold weather package with dual pane windows. I think that is what causing the problem.
The passenger side is less so, just a few small scratches. The driver's side on the other hand, is hard to look at. I don't usually open my passenger window, perhaps that's why it is less scratched.

Is there a chance you have debris in the seals along the bottom?

Now that I think about it, it could be the sand. I live very close to the ocean, maybe ~700ft away. When it's windy, the sand is flying everywhere. If that's the reason, then the only solution I see is to move elsewhere
I had mine changed to dual pane windows, and had my guy come bk and retint them ,and its been a month and no issues, ur tint quality might be bad , just have ur tint guy redo it.
