Default slow windows because of tint?

I have a 00 gsr with tinted windows, after a while my windows would barly go up and down. So i took it into acura because its still under warrenty they did some ajustments and improved the problem. They said the problem was the tint on the windows, but its hard to beleave because all my friends with integras have tinted windows and they work perfectly. So is acura full of **** or what?

Probably dirty rails. My drivers side was slow, and I have no tint. My alarm would leave the window half way up when it would arm

i don't think the tint has anything to do with slowing down windows.. seems like it is just common problems with integras.. most of my friends had the same problems, even my car.. my car was under the warranty, so when it happened, i took it to the dealer.. they said it is just the bad motor..

Driver side windows on integras are notorious for having probs, dealer it... probably just needs to get cleaned and lubed or the track needs to get realigned

my driver's side window seems to rattle when its all the way down. how can you check if it's off the rails? how do you lube up the rails too?

my drivers window works perfectly, if a little slow, but my passenger window sometimes need a helping hand to all the way down and then drags on the way back up again, but i just figure thats its possibly because of infrequent use, silicon spray does ease it for a while but it usually dries out and returns to its slow up/down ways, spraying silicon probably ads to the problem as dust/crap will stick to the silicon causing further problems
