Windows won't auto-up/-down after window tint installation
I just got my windows tinted yesterday. Looks awesome! Anyway, I discovered today that all four windows won't auto-up/-down anymore. I'm looking at the service manual but can only see that the window switch in each door has only one harness running to them. The windows do operate, so that means the harnesses are connected. Just no auto-up/-down. What gives???
I called the window place and they said they'd take a took at it, but still I wanna try to figure out what they did wrong or forgot to do.

Your auto-up may just need resetting; roll the window down, then all the way up and keep holding the switch up for at least five seconds. Should work after that.

Maybe they just need a hard reset though. A similar thing would happen on my previous car and I would just manually put all of the windows down and then up. After that cycle they would work again.

To initialize, what you do is open the window, close it and keep holding the up button for 3 seconds after the window is completely rolled up.
HAHA! I know you're supposed to wait a while after getting tint to open the windows, but I happened to go through a jack-in-the-box drive-through today so I only opened the driver's side window half way just enough to grab my cheeseburger and fries. When I closed it, I noticed at that auto-feature didn't work. So I opened up the rest of the windows just a little bit to test them out.

haha if the tint is messed up because of the window rolling, I'll tell the owner that he told me it's okay to roll them down the next day, and get it redone free of charge. =) haha no worries!
