Default What is scratching my Driver side window tint?

I have a couple of lines going up and down on my tints of when I roll down my window.
So I try not to roll them down all the way to prevent the scratch on my tint.
I was thinking of taking the door panel but noticed in pcitre what good that will do if the windoe is behind the metal panel. Any suggestions? Dealer?

Dealer doesn't cover tint unless they do it so that's a pointless idea. If I were you take apart your door panel and see what's scratching. Most likely a rock or something.

I have the same problem with my tints . I noticed that a what looked like pieces of sand were stuck on the rubber piece inside the window frame. I make sure to keep these areas clean and have not noticed anymore scratches.

most likely dirt and debris caught in the door seal. Just use a toothbrush and clean them frequently!

You need to get new window felts that wont scratch the windows. the 2IS has very fast windows and the stock felt is very tight with the window.

you need to swap the felt to a window tint friendly sealant, contact a good local tinter and see if they can do the swap for yah
