question for people with tint

So I never thought about tint, since I leave the windows down 90% of the time. It does get very humid here in the summer and some days I just have to leave the top up. On those days, I would like to block out some light/heat.

Have you guys that have tinted noticed any rattles or squeaks after? I have heard from a few people that had that issue, but never talked to someone with an SL after tint. Any feedback on it?

I was thinking more along the lines of the window squeaking in the weather strip. I knew a guy with a 911 that got his tinted and it was awful after, he had to have it pulled out.
