On my 02 S10, the electric window tilts toward the outside of the truck
when I first roll it up and down in the morning. After a while, it
straightens up and rolls normally. Does anyone know why or how to fix
this??

Also, will this affect tint? If I have the window tinted, will hanging up
cause the tint to mess up?

Thanks for your help,

First take a look at the channel in the door that the window rides in,
if that is damaged or something is in there that will interfere with the
windows. If that looks OK you will need to pull the door panel off and
see if anything looks worn or damaged in there. You might also
lubricate any moving parts with white lithium grease.

If the widow is hanging up because the surface of the glass is rubbing
against something that can damage the tint, also I imagine if the
tinting material is really thick it could cause the window to drag in
it's tracks... although if it's that thick you may also have
conversations with your local police about it!

Before you tear into it, try spraying the edges of the window and the
tracks with some silicone lubricant spray. (not wd40 or similar)
Sometimes it works wonders..
