Thanks for this answer. I just got my windows tinted and the drivers window now squeeks something horrible. Whatever it is that's bent, it's leaving a mark on the tint where it's rubbing in 3 places, i.e. I have 3 lines going up the window. I'm sure its bent, but I'm not sure I know what part it is that's bent? What exactly is the "window seal". Do I need to remove the door panel to replace it?

**EDIT for FIX**

I fixed the squeak with a skinny papermate ink pen. Someone else, not sure if it was this forum or not, mentioned they were able to flip the window seal back to its proper position using a a chopstick. Lowering the window and opening the top seal, I could see where the inner seal was indeed folded over facing downwards starting about 1/3 down the window from the mirror. I just put the papermate pen down into the top seal and under the folded down inner seal flap and lifted as I ran it towards the back seat. I repeated it 3 or 4 times and the seal is now in its proper position. The window longer squeaks as it rolls up. I was able to do it without removing the door panel. Took me 2 minutes to fix.
