F'N Windows

[cranch]

i am so pissed... wtf is with the side windows scratching... sure a couple arent bad but all of a sudden there strips from top to bottom all over. i am so pissed off.. wtf does a guy do... take the panel off and start bending shit or wat. sorry for the vent.

Window track maybe starting to bend, might want to call someone who fixes that stuff.

Find a window or tint shop, ask them what it would cost to have the track or related hardware bent. If it's a small shop they'll probly do it for free. One tip, probly don't waste your money tinting those, they'll look bad with the scratches under the tint.

my windows are scratched to shite, actually I think it looked better when I had my tint on, you could still see it but actually not as bad

It depends on the deepness of the scratches, the deeper they are the more noticeable they will be.

[jackpot]

yea I suppose

its been getting worse lately, I figured it was from dirt'n'shite getting into the stripping and causing scratching on the windows

try to clean it as much as possible, running a rag between the window slit with the window down, does help

not sure what could be done besides replace the windows, but then i would be worried about having the new ones scratched

is there any kind of polish a person could put on the windows to fill in some of the scratches? i am just choked.. it looks terrible.

This is the result of a design flaw. The plastic guides on the outside of the window on the rub strip collect grit and will scratch the glass when it goes up and down. There was a OEM service bulletin that addressed this years ago but I have not heard anything about it in years. I am not sure what it does but I believe it puts more clearance between the plastic part and the glass. I have heard of some people being succussful at polishing out minor scratches but I dont know what they use as media. I have tried rubbing compound and a power buffer with little success, if any. Anybody have the key to this process?-

Try some eyeglass repair juice on a small one and see how it matches?

I feel for ya...I have the same f'n problem....Mine look HORRIBLE. Top 2 inches are completely etched and a couple beuties all the way down, on BOTH front windows.
Found a glass place pretty cheap online, but have no idea how to install them myself. I guess I will just roll the windows down.
Here is a link to that glass place if you're interested. I don't have any idea about this place, just saw that the glass was pretty cheap.

[ssvejiita]

The problem is crap getting into the window track and causing the scratches. Best fix for the glass is replace it with new glass...

Here is a link to one of the TSBs on this.....
