    has anyone experienced any issues after window tinting? I had mine done a week ago and now I experiencing my dew sweep on the inside wanting to roll down into my door frame when I roll my window down. Had anyone experienced this?

    Was it done by the dealer or aftermarket? I had my truck in for oil change today and the service advisor told me about different types of tint (I had a question about mine); they only install 3M product that has a lifetime warranty. Other products are not the same; I am thinking that different types might not be as slick and cause the sweep to catch and roll down. Otherwise, maybe just give it time, maybe it is just a little sticky from install.

    Totally just guessing here..

    It was not installed by the dealer, but a local guy with very good reviews. It’s quality Llumar ceramic tint that was used. I’m dumbfounded myself. All other windows are functioning fine. I’m taking it in to see if I can get a replacement dew sweep. Also while doing trial and error at the tint place it scratched the film up, going to have to get them to replace it again...:annoyed:

    I would bet they did not drain the moisture enough and either to much liquid went into the window channel or a cut piece of film is jammed.

    I have an 18' CM with lumar ceramic tint all the way around and didn't have issues with it.

    Bed lined, tinted all 5 windows, hose clamped tailgate, toolbox, steps, ESP rear seat storage bins, dash cam, anytime camera switch, console safe, pop a lock for tailgate and wheels/flares, sway bar. I have Techstream if anyone local needs it.
    The bottom trim on the new Tundra and Sequoia is very tight. The proper way to tint the roll down windows is to either remove the door panel, or even better, pop the top of it out so that the tint does not risk not being perfectly flat and below that trim level. If the installer "tucked" the rubber at the bottom, which is how all roll downs used to be done, that could be the issue. It may have never popped back up all of the way, and you or he may have to help it back up with one of the hard plastic tint squeegees. When I tinted my 2018, I popped the door panels off at the top. I didn't even try tucking the bottom, so I'm not 100% positive it can even be done with the new ones. I used to own a tint shop, and comebacks like yours were not common.

    Thank you everyone for the feedback and input. You all have been more than helpful. I’ll post what the outcome is incase anyone else has a scenario like this in the future.
