windows up/down effect on my tint

does rolling the window up and down have a negative effect on the tint? will the constant friction make the tint fade? TIA.

It will on the first week of installation, so its recommended not to roll windows during the first week. Afterwards, no it will not have any negative effect, unless tint is poor quality and/or done unprofesionally.

Tint places say 3 days to a week usually does the trick. The tint actually helps your windows roll down eaiser because they reduce the amount of friction.

Nope, but one thing that can screw it up is hitting it with the seat belt when you take your belt off. That puts little pit marks in it. You think it won't happen, but it does.
