Default Scratched Windows...

Is there anyway of getting rid of the outer scratches on the windows?

I believe the Classics are a right pain for it, caused by an electric window mechanism I think

Thanks,

Stu

Common problem sadly I was told taking the door cards off and cleaning the felts that hold them in can help it from getting any worst.

Yeah I have the same thing. Only really notice it when it's steamed up or wet.

You should take the doorcards off and scrub the felts as they collect grit. I remember using Vinegar to remove the light scratches on the glass. Do a search on here for more info.
