2011 Mecedes GL350 cycling lock/unlock

[SWT]

Tinted a GL350 Monday, went well, fairly easy job. You don`t have to pull the panels, only the tops and the weather strip pops out. Owner picked it up midday and was on her way. She calls me back about an hour later and says her door locks keep cycling lock/unlock. The vehicle was not doing this when it left, but it apparently is now. She took it in to the dealer and they diagnose it as water in the door lock module on the rear hatch. This doesn`t make sense to me as this rear glass is a lift gate that I put very little water on because its a small window and is fairly flat. Dealer did cover it under warranty as this custy knew the service writer, but she was told its a common problem when the windows are tinted as the lock modules are very sensitive to water ( could be a typical dealer line, but I ain`t willing to take the chance again). Just wanted to let everyone know to be very careful with these vehicles
