Does anyone else get streaks on the inside of their windows after rolling them down and up after a car wash? Even a day after mine will streak. This only happens on the front windows though. I have felt installed in the door panels for the tint. I'm not sure what could be causing this besides maybe too much felt??

Bingo. Your felt is retaining water.

Don't roll it down for 2 or 3 hours and you're fine

use an air compressor to blow out the water after a wash

Something isn't right here .. the felt on the inside shouldn't be getting wet at all ... when you say car wash is this a hand wash or automatic?

Automatic

First mistake. Using an automatic car wash. Ask anyone with immaculate paint. Don't use an automatic car wash. High pressure washer's force water into area's not designed to withstand that kind of pressure. Clean using less water pressure and you'll be better off. The felt will still get wet but it won't force water into area's it shouldn't be.

I don't think water should be getting to the felt at all. But you think it still will with less pressure?

On the outside that's normal. Mine streaks on the outside for a couple hours and I clean it up with some Quick Detailer a couple hours later. On the inside is not normal. I'd suggest very light sprinkling of water while washing your car since those part's just aren't supposed to take that kind of pressure. Under the car, wheels all that is just fine. Don't hit the engine bay with water either and any places with rubber seals designed to keep water out.

Here is a pic of this nastiness.

Yeah that's normal. I'd pull back the felt a little and use a clean Microfiber towel to get that area clean. Use some quick detailer to damp the cloth. Don't roll down the windows till everything dries up or clean it up later on.
