Electrical problem
2005 Audi A4 50400 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
So I had my front 2 windows tinted about 3 weeks ago and now both of my windows are messed up. The driver side window will go up and down but it sounds like it grinds the whole way. The passenger side won't go down anymore but when you try it grinds and clicks very loudly. Help. Did it have something to do with the tint or did they both go buttoms up at a very odd time. Help

Hi there,
If the windows were removed & tinted the tint material may be binding on the window channel and overloading the regulator, i would go back to the tinter's and see what they did. Explain your problem and they may be able to assist you.
