Window scratches
Hi all, I noticed these scratches on my o/s/r window today (see pic) which had me a little stumped......and pissed off at first anyway. I couldn't suss out what could have caused it, I decided it must have been something when the window has been put down, but what? I then put down the opposite side window and even though there was no scratches there was the same shape smeared due to the water when I put the window back up.
Now after searching it seems there's a common issue with the window guide scratching the windows on the Impreza but I haven't seen any pics. Does it look like that's what it is??? If it isn't then it is what it is, nothing I can do about it.
When I try and work it out it makes sense I feel that's what's causing it, and that window was up and down like a ****** undies the first week of ownership because of the wee man feeling sick. But I'll be honest, I never noticed it until today which isn't like me.

Change the guide pad, it looks like a small brush and seems to collect crap which then scratches window.

It is a common issues with classic & newage versions I'm afraid.
Regarding scratches if you can feel it with your nail it is a tough job or nigh on impossible to remove by yourself.
Another alternative is a professional company who will be able to remove them but because it is a labour intensive job it can be financially prohibitive, therefore as I did, try and replace them with scratch free ones from a car being broken or a Subaru breakers.
