Window acting crazy after Tints installed. Only one doing it

[Arsenal2012]

So my back driver side window is acting funny.

It is rolling down slow and then when I go to roll it up, it goes half way then stops.
Ill roll down then up and it goes a bit then stops and comes down, then it wont do anything then ill roll it up and it goes half way up.
I roll it down it stops then goes up.
Sometimes after it stops and I push the button it does nothing.

I have heard that some of these cars may have anit-crush sensors, could the tint be affecting it or is my motor going?
This is the first time I have rolled down the windows since I got the tints.

tints.

no idea whats going on here, except for the fact that you pluralized the word tint [facepalm]

In all seriousness, remove the door card and investigate.

^^^ Theres definitely some resistance in that window. Only way to check is remove door card, clean everything and look for anything broken, try operating window with door card off so you can see the mechanisms move. could be a broken window regulator tab that is slipping or just a really sticky dirty window but i doubt it.

There is minimal clearance between the window glass and felt/rubber seal in the channel of the door frame. The motor will sense if there is excessive drag when the window is going up, and reverse direction automatically. Roll the window all the way down and check to see if the tint folks seated the felt rubber seal all the way into the channel. Use a plastic tool (spatula handle, trim tool, etc.) and push the seal as far into the channel as it will go. If there are bumps as you go around, there may be debris under the seal.

Was the tint installed with the window in the door? I'm assuming it was because that's what we did when I worked at a tint shop. We usually pushed the seal that's on the bottom on the inside down into the door that way when the tint is installed it'll be below the outside bottom rubber seal. The inside seal stays that way until the window is completely rolled down for the first time after dry time and will usually flip back up when the window is rolled back up, which is why they usually say not to roll the windows down for a day or two. Check and see if the inside rubber is still pushed down, if it is and you can roll the window completely down use a plastic tool to roll it back up into the correct position. Hope this helps.
