This looks like the issue with the door “cards” warping...Just happens over time & can be replaced by dealership under warranty or “goodwilled” - do a search for more detail on that known issue. If yours came up suddenly after getting your windows tinted, then maybe someone mishandled the door panel as they were removing it & exacerbated the issue? -Dom

I agree. The door panel looks correctly installed, but the issue appears to be the common "warping" issue or failure of the adhesive. This happened on my drivers side (not to that extent) and I replaced it will a panel off ebay for $150.
Good luck

It does look like warping / mishandling, but before buying a new door card, I would go through the steps to remove it and try reinstalling it yourself. Or go back to the tint shop and ask them to fix it. If anything, they might take responsibility and offer a partial refund or purchase the new card.
The edges don't look like they're seated completely flush with the door, which makes me think they didn't line it up the top before putting it back on.
