I've got the same problem... scratched my tint =/ Not sure if it's common though. I think it has to do with dirt getting trapped in the rubber at the bottom.

there was another post on here where people had said something about replacing the clips that hold the felt strips in place on the windows? so i'm confused and just looking for an answer...i know i don't wanna tint them until i find out for sure that there's nothing scratching cause it will just tear the tint all to pieces...anyone else have any ideas???

yeah that was me.
take off the door panel.
on the top of the door you will see 2 glod brackets that should have some felt on the top.
the felt is so the window slides on it, over time that felt wheres off and leaves your glass rubing against the metal slider.

one you get the door panel off and you look at the two you will see
