haha! i'm kinda brown. my wife is whiiiiiiiiiite! if you have a cool dr you can say you are getting bad headaches when you are driving from the glare. and sunglasses bother your bridge of your nose. then you bring the the letter to the state police and then the dmv and you are good.

I had the same issue after tinting my windows and the automatic window roll down.

I temporarily disabled it by removing the screw in the door switch. This is the ground for the system.

my tint peeled in the front lower corner, but never got worse than that, so I'm not bothered.

I wonder if there is a way to temporarily disable this feature?

You'll be fine. All the reputable places that do tint will offer you some kind of warranty, and worst case you take it back to them. They'll also notice the instant they open the door that the windows drop a bit, and know how to deal with it appropriately.

I told my tinter right off, and they said it's not a problem, a number of vehicles are doing that now, and they know how to deal with it.

They also told me that if it peels or wrinkles for any reason, bring it back and they'll fix it.

The one thing I don't like is how it doesn't quite stick around the dots on the edge of the glass (it sticks, just there's gaps between the dots) - I don't know if this is typical, since this is the first car I've had tinted...
