Squeaky window after tint?
paper clip will either rip the rubber, or scratch the tint.

I've got rubber coated 90º small picks that will be perfect for this job. If I can't get it tonight I'll run over to the shop tomorrow to see if they'll do it.

Window tint squeak

A residue is also left on the inside of the window. I notice that the inner rubber/felt seal is a little deformed compared to the passenger side.
It does not squeak when going up, and it also does not squeak if I put some pressure on it (with my microfiber of course.
Now I just made an appointment via my sales guy because they have to reinstall clear bra on the lower bumper/driver side mirror. Of course the comment I get back was "well its probably the tint."
Knowing they would say that called BS right away and said look, the 3 other windows don't do it, however i may be outta luck on this one, since the window was modified. So I may have an issue with the tint place after this. Of course its too bad this started 4 weeks after I had the tint done, I guess I'd better get ready to get my wallet out on this one.

My drivers side window squeaks too. I just got my windows tinted about 2 weeks ago and I waited a week to roll down my windows and the drivers one started squeaking. I noticed the rubber was down on the drivers and pass side, so I took some scissors (I know) and pulled it out. Though I didn't scratch it! But there is the rubbery residue on the squeaky window and it's buggin the crap outta me. I haven't tried to clean it up so maybe that's the problem I'm having w/it still sqeaking??

l what I did is I started with my tools, and realized it wouldn't be so quick or easy, so I went ahead and just popped the door liner off a tad on that back third and the window seal, fixed and popped it back on.
Only had to pop the back third off slightly. Problem is solved, but that rubber is now very deformed. I'll monitor this, as I'm guessing it will fold under itself again at some point.
Oh yea, before I even started I noticed 2 small tint scratches more than likely from the dealer. I guess it coulda been me also, but I didn't hear any scraping. Of course no way to prove this on way or another. Fortunately its up at the top, so not noticeable unless you look for it.

I've had to do the same thing over the weekend. how does the rubber fold on itself like that? 
it still makes a squeaking noise though when i roll my windows down 
maybe it'll work itself out later on

I wish I had found this thread before posting another one. Anyway, I had these same problems, and disassembled my door to find a resolution. It is worse than you guys think (according to your posts). There are TWO rubber wipers that cause problems. See the thread below...
