Many people on here have used some kind of "rubber softener" (IDK exactly what it is called) that is supposed to help with this problem. Maybe someone can chime in on exactly what that stuff is called or other suggestions. It could also be the regulator as well.

You know you NOT suppose to roll down the window for 6-12 hrs once it's tinted?
I don't know if that could cause the window to go off track, but try this,

Go to your local auto supplier, get white lithium grease, and silicon spray both in a can.

Roll your windows down, pull off door panels, start filling up the tracks with lithium.

Before you start rolling the window up and down again, spray the silicon LIGHTLY on the edge of window seals (rubber that meets window), let it drip. As you roll the window up slowly, continue to apply where necessary. Try rolling windows regular speed.

Repeat lithium grease once in 1-2 yrs, spray silicon everytime it makes noise or windows start rollin up and/or down slower than usual.
Good luck

Go to honda and buy the stuff their techs use to lub the ends/track of the window. It worked for me.
