What the hell is causing that then?

Pete

 

Dirty that gets on the felt pads that guide the window as it moves. Or the felt pads have dropped/moved exposing the metal brackets.

I believe it's covered under warrenty, if not get it sorted anyway, as it will get worse and worse, New pads should sort the problem out.

 

Its under the extended warranty - wonder if thats covered?

Door cards off then and have a look see?

Cheers!

It's a pretty common problem as the car gets older.

 

i have a cure..









stop putting the window's up and down.....!!

 

Happened on all 4 windows on my RB5.

Previous owner didn't get it done under warranty - when I asked it was too late

The STI 4 I just got has the same only not nearly as bad.

Only way to fix is new glass and pads/runners I think.

 

Don't wind down the windows when they are dirty. You'll pull all the dirt onto the pads and it'll get very bad.

Make her take her stilletos off first mate

 

 

LOL

Its the guides inside the doors Pete, they get worn - I'm guessing you've got one, maybe two vertical scratched areas on each window about 1/3 and 2/3 the way along?

 

...it's a common problem i believe especially on classics. I have them on my rear windows...they only showed up when i got the rear windows tinted....but i can live with it.

 

The scratches are actually only in the top third section of the window and an area of about 6cm x 3cm wide - I'll take a piccie if I can.

It almost looks like someone has tried to break into the car by using some lever that has scratched the window? But its so easy to break in a scooby not having a frame, so why mess about with a bar?

I think you should stay awake every night with a shotgun watching over your scooby

 

Sounds like a worn guide Pete - they are abouy 3cm wide IIRC.

 

I had my drivers window replaced once under warranty as a result of scratches but weeks after the new one was scratched

Now i just live with it. I have to lower the window to get out the car when i put it into the garage whether the window is dirty or not (lets face it car window are not always clean)
