are these the rear sliding windows?
Just as a matter of interest, my one side kept getting jammed due to the felt guide getting all bunched up when trying to close it and the only way is to stick a sharp knife point to pull back the felt and keep it there while sliding the window closed again.

CapeLandy, you are not the only one
I have the same problem with my sliding windows... and guess what? Dealers was trying to solve it without too much sucess.  My main problem is that my 2 boys travelled in the back and they use to open/close the sliding windows quite often, so the system is subject to a constant abuse.
I'm thinking to replace the felt with a U rubber channel to provide a better surface to slide the glass and keep it firm in the guide rail. Regretably, not too much time to do it by myself

Where are you getting your tints from and what % have you opted for?
I'm looking for a little bit more security in the back and a bit more shade for the boy. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |

This explains why the OE tints are smaller than the glass_ there is a small border of uncovered glass when they are applied, actually thinking about it I guess it prevents the tint lifting/being damaged as the windows are opened/closed- as you were! Pimped black '07 Puma

Got mine tinted. They were done in situ no gaps. I went for a 70% tint (I think)
