Rolling window up problem

scubastevect64 · 06-04-2007, 10:17 PM

Alright, so I just bought a 07 Civic Si 4 door. Got it about a month ago. Everything was fine, then I got my windows tinted. I got them tinted 5 days ago, then rolled down all my windows and rolled them back up. All the windows are fine except the rear driver side window. It rolls down fine, but when I roll it back up, it goes relatively slow and makes a scary sounding noise. Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't want to blame the tint shop, but it seems as though it is due to something that they did. Does anyone know is the methods used to tint could affect mechanics of the window. Thanks guys.

i could be wrong, but aren't you supposed to not roll the windows down after getting tints for more than 5 days?

you dont have to wait 5 days... 2-3 days at most if the tint job wasnt a hack job

if the weather is really warm ... 2 days is usually fine .. every car ive had done has been perfect after 3 as far as rolling the windows down goes

TO THE OP - maybe the window came off the track a little bit ?? take it back to the tint place and see if they might have an idea .. because I assume you didnt have the problem before the tint was done

Yeah the windows worked fine before hand. Does getting the windows tinted affect how Honda may address the problem if I bring it in?

A good place would work with you if you're having a problem with your window. Of course it's probably up to them b/c you may have signed something saying they aren't responsible for certain things. I've never had this problem. Keep us informed though. Hope it gets fixed for cheap.

Yea go to the tint shop and tell them about your window. If you go to Honda they will probably tell you to just take it to the tint shop.

Good one. I bet that's it. I didn't think about that. My buddy had that with his scion.

Hey guys thanks for all the input. I went by the tint shop today and the guy knew exactly what was the matter. He grabbed some weird looking tool and fixed in a couple of seconds. Something about the window grabbing a gasket. Thanks again for the input.
