When i roll down and up the windows i have this annoying squeak, does anyone know how to fix this????

Sounds like they might have tucked the seals on the bottom and the lower one is stuck.

Take it back to them.

Otherwise, you could just take the door panel off, flip the seal back up, and put the door panel back on.

I pulled the top seal back up...is there another 1 in there?

its not the seals.. mine squeek too because the window is thicker. just keep your windows clean and they wont squeek. mine never make the sound right after a wash.

I will have to try cleaning them....

Yes, there are two seals. The bottom one cannot be pulled back up very easily without removing the door panel.

LOL. The window is thicker. Window tint is typically 1 mil to 1.5 mils (thousandth of an inch).

^correct, i just got my windows tinted last week and i noticed the squeaking. Then i carefully looked and there was another seal not flipped up. So I grabbed a wire coat hanger and wrapped it in tape and pulled it back up. Problem solved

yah mine squeked too. bring it back to the tint guy and he'll either use a 'prying' tool or he'll take the door panel apart

I simply pulled the top portion of my door panels out by hand, properly positioned the seals and put it back in. Putting it back together wasn't too bad once I found the trick of pushing up and in at the same time.

mine squeaked for a while but it eventually stops if you don't want to take the door off. i never took the panel off to fix it because i had no time.
