Default What causes a tint to peel?

Could wet weather have something to do with it? It has been very wet lately and today, after over a week of having my windows tinted, I rolled down my window and it peeled at the bottom like it caught on to something. The dealership said to take it in tomorrow so they can fix it, but should I roll all the other windows down too to see if they crack? Or should I just let those wait a bit more?

I rolled the window down twice before this incident and it was fine those two times.

Used ammonia (lilke Windex) to clean your windows. Ammonia peels tint away from the glass.
