Default Window Tint 2003 Accord 4dr

Shop did an excellent job tinting windows in my new Accord. I couldn't find a single blemish until I rolled the drivers window up and down a few times (after allowing tint to dry for 5 days). I began to notice some vertical lines in the tint like something was rubbing so I took the car back in this morning. They had another, identical Accord with the door panels off in the shop. Turns out that most cars have a felt wiper that contacts the window as it goes up and down, but, the Accord uses a rubber strip. This rubs against the tint and causes the lines. Next week they are going to glue on a felt strip which will hopefully eliminate the problem. Don't know if this problem will surface in other models.
