When you get your windows tinted then minimize the number of times you open the doors the first 24hrs. Since the window rolls down about half an inch when you open the door then that's enough to snag the bottom edge of the film if it hasn't dried on the glass yet. This happened to me

Same here, so I got mine fixed Friday afternoon and then drove a few hours to Austin from Houston. Then forced a friend to drive around all weekend.

The little button one the door frame can be taped down so that it doesn't roll down for a few days.

just take the screw out of the door stopper/plunger that actuates the window down mechanism and that will keep it from doing the same.
