Is it possible your window chanels are dirty or have a foreign substance preventing the window from sealing against it???

I'm not sure this is going to do much...unless the problem exists during a wash or rain while the windows are rolled up (meaning there's a leak).

I think this is a common occurence with windows...how often do you wait until after a wash or rain to roll the windows down? Often the window guides inside the doors get wet and take longer to dry as they're not exposed to light or much heat. If you roll your window down while the guide is wet - viola - instant streakage.

Isn't this why you shouldn't roll your windows down right after you get window tint? Because of the chance of getting the film wet?

Hey guys what i found is that the front of the window by the mirror, inside of the door goes straight across opposed to the back that has a 4 inch dip about 4 inches wide.because of this and the way the interior weatherstrip aligns up with the window ,when water runs down the window,it rolls off the window and hits the interior side of the weatherstrip felt,causing it to get wet.thats why im seeing streaks on the inside part of the window.so how i fixed it was i ordered a new pair of weather stripping (because it was smelling moldy) and what i did was cut about 11/2 inches off the inside part of the weatherstrip towards the front.now when water rolls off the window it doesnt hit the felt anymore and just run down the inside off the door and out the drain holes.how i confirmed this was with the inside door panels removed i ran a garen hose on it and seen the water wasnt hitting the felt anymore.annoying problem fixed.sorry for the long response.but i hope this would help anyone that expieriances this issue.
