Default Driver side window noise

Hi Everybody,

My driver side window makes a noise when it is being rolled down. About half way down, it sounds like it is rubbing against something. This noise only happens when it's being rolled down, not up. The funny thing is, this noise started happening after I got a sub installed. I doubt it has anything to do with the installation but just wanted to point that out. Could it just be that it is dirty inside? I also have my windows tinted but the noise came wayyy after that. Any help/thoughts is appreciated.

Take off the door panel, peel the plastic liner. Plug back in only the switchs and roll the window down and with a flash light look and see what is going on. Maybe something stupid came loose.

My guess is it is tinting related. Mine started making noise the day after my tint. Leaves long streaks on the inside of the window too. Haven't had time to take the door apart and figure it out. Does it on both windows that were tinted. Must be related to the slight increase in friction caused by the "sticky" new tint.

This started happening long after I got my tint done. probably about 5-6 months. I haven't had time to take the panel off so hopefully I will find the problem when I do so.
