Window won’t roll back up (just had tint done)

I recently had tint done and waited the allotted days until it was safe to operate them. However now that I tested them out the first time, the rear right window will not roll back up...any suggestions etc. I don’t think it’s a motor issue. It went down fine and I can hear the initial click when I try to raise it. I’m thinking it is stuck #help

There are lots of reports of water getting in during tinting and frying the window controller. Do a search.

This is the one I remember, but it was the keyless go module that got fried.

But there are others. One recommends always making the tint shop verify the power windows work before they start so they can't say they didn't do it. Lots of electronics in the door can short out if they get water in there.

Coincidence or not, when I had the tint done, the rear right window also didn't close after rolling it down a week later. Dealer had to replace the driver side main window switches under warranty.

What above user stated makes sense how installer uses tonnes of water and it probably gotten into the switches.

i said a prayer 🙏 and I got back in and started it up...this time I activated all 4 window switches at once and voila it came back up. I had applied a small amount of soapy water to the window seam lastnight as a last ditch effort. Happy it’s up and running!
