    People with S197's

    Those of you who have your windows tinted, are you getting straight up n down streaks in the tint?

    I have the same problem and will be redoing my windows shortly. It's because Ford started using hard plastic instead of the soft dew strips. You'll need to get felt strips or a product called "moleskin" installed to keep it from getting any worse... this'll explain it better http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...light=moleskin

    Yep, that's a common problem with the door windows in the S197's. Fix as already stated and you'll be fine.
