I have an 07 and got the windows tinted and about 3 to 4 months later there were deep streaks starting to show on the tint that is on the door windows. I took it back to the tint shop and they told me that this is a regular thing on the 05 to 07's. I took it to another shop and they told me the same thing. Does anyone know about this?

Yes, we all know about them. All of them do it other than the 2008s+. They changed the seal in 2008 to have "mole-skin" on them. Although you can buy "mole skin" online and apply it to the seals. I didn't have good luck with it on my girlfriend's car. The "mole skin" peeled away and left tons of adhesive on the windows. I think I'm just going to buy the factory OEM 2008+ seals.

there are 3 different seals......are they the seals that go on the top of the doors or is it the 1 that goes in the center of the door?

I believe, from my understanding, is that you want the middle piece. Any good parts desk at the dealer should be able to help you.

Window Tint

I had the same problem. Took the car back and they installed felt strips on both sides of the window inside the door panel.

They did it for $20 bucks and re-tinted both front windows because they were scratched badly. ALthough you could do it yourself pretty easy.. Just pull the door panel away and its right there
