yep, prolly a broken or slipped spring on the fresh-air vent. The vent is 
behind the glovebox and is just a flap that will prolly be open. This 
re-circulates air, which you only want when the a/c is on anyway. There's 
s'posed to be a spring which holds the flap shut, but it can break or slip 
off. You may still have enough of the old spring to work w/ or you might 
need a new one. Just be careful when you put it in, b/c it can snap your 
fingers as you try to reattach it. That should fix the problem. But also 
make sure the flap opens when you turn on the a/c. There's a vacuum 
solenoid in the flap that forces it open when it gets vacuum from the a/c 
programmer.

tint takes forever to dry...and it took a good week for mine to look dry. 
After that the guy told me it was still wet for one more week, but really 
under the film. It was always fogged up for at least a week. Fogging is no 
good for tint, but you can't always help it. The fogging might actually be 
coming from the tint if this is the first week, b/c the tint holds some 
warmth and is still moist for 2+ weeks. If the flap is ok, it's likely the 
tint, which will go away in couple weeks.
