tint probs w/ moleskin

I knew this would happen - I got my tint put on about 1.5 weeks ago with the moleskin. It's been raining the past couple of days in NYC and now I notice that the inside of my driver's side window is all wet when I roll it down and up. Somehow, the felt is getting wet and now I'm getting smears of glue on the window. I watched my tint guy do the install and he didn't cut any of the seals. WTF ?!?!

I think I'm gonna pop off the door panel, remove the felt and just try to keep the wiper really clean with canned air. The wiper itself does not seem like it's abrasive enough to scratch the tint - it must happen when dirt gets down there. Any suggestions?

Not sure from your post how much water is getting in, but maybe this thread will help (see post #13):

My tint guy will definitely fix it - that's not the issue. I'm just wondering if this is going to be an on-going problem.

I noticed the entire glass was wet today - not just the 1st 6 inches.
