I never had this problem with my tint.......lucky I guess or tint company knew of this problem and didn't tell me about it.

Here is a informative thread about it: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...highlight=tint

Do you mean that the moleskin is not working for you?

There is weather striping in two locations. One is located farther down inside the door. Moleskin on the top only will take care of the problem or are people doing both?

When you wash your car, while the window and weather strips are wet, pull the strip and wipe it with your sponge or whatever you use.

I know about the Moleskin solution, but is there any PERMANENT fix for this issue? Rather then just replacing the moleskin every few months or so?
