Default Tinting windows that have silicone lube on them?

Few weeks ago I put silicone lube in between the cracks of my windows cus they been sweaking, but they got silicone lube stains on them from going up and down. I have an appointment for window tint tomorrow and totally forgot about this. I took invisible glass and did my best to clean the windows but they still have some I think... Its dark now, hoping it will clear up and dry over night. Should I cancel the appointment tomorrow or what do you recommend? They are pro tinters so they should be OK right? Will silicone lube on windows mess up the tinting process?

Thanks

What year is your car? The early S197 did not have felt on the inside weather strip where it contacts the window. If yours is just the rubber, it will scratch up the tint. You would need to go with later years interior weather strip, or order and install mole skin on the rubber to protect the tint. I did the mole skin on my 05 a few years back, and so far no issues.
