hi all
does anyone have this problem. I got the car about1 month ago and didnt notice it at first but now the drivers side window is getting 2 lines from puttin it up an down, not to sure if it did it when i got it and had been polished it out.
Anyway is this easy to cure and do any of you think its worth ringin the dealer and tryin to get it done on warranty purchased with car as this was not pointed out to me when i bought the car.
thanks all
trogs

btw. car is a 52 wrx bought from main dealer

mine are a bit scratched, but never really bothered me, I don't tend to look in mirrors much

Both of my Imprezas have had scratched windows...think it's par for the course.

Another "clutch judder" problem that happens to most scoobys

But these are like 2 tramlines.....very visible from a long way

Johnny50

Yep..sounds about right.

The scratches on mine are very thick. Probably a thumb width.

More noticable on the fronts, than the back though, though thats just down to use.

I've seen it mentioned before.
Window runners I think, do a search.
I think you have to replace some guides.

its the guides made of cloth but pick up dirt no way around it ive tryed

Damn this is common.....there must be some way of stopping it.......................anyone know what to use to get rid of glass scratches

Had my front windows replaced under warranty due to the scratches!

There will be some crap in the rubbers/guides see if you can clean them out, you can polish minor scratches out with any sort of cutting paste/T-Cut whatever, do a search there was a thread a while ago with 1001 ways to remove scratches in glass ..

Mine too, exactly the same....

Should be changed under warranty.

ReggieMY99

as above, common problem on classics, i have some fat scratches on 3 of my windows, sand or dirt get into the rollers..


i seriously doubt they can be polished away on mine as they are quite deep, doesnt bother me at all when i look in the windows from the inside i can see a big white grin from my face anyway

Not a very practical answer but I don't lower the windows if I can help it, when they are dirty. Make sure the seals are clean when you wash the car.

Yup, its a screw thats fallen out. Pop off the door cover and you'll see what I mean, straighten it up put the screws back in and its fine... Same happened to me, do it before it completely wreaks the window

TyPe~~R

How about using cutting paste and a Dremel? on the scratches

Same

Had my drivers window replaced when the warranty was still valid but the new window scratched soon after
Never bothered again

So that's another little "characteristic" of our Scoobs then?
My Classic's driver's window is a bit scratched but not too bad.
What's a few scratches eh, could be that they were prone to something more serious like, oh, MAF problems.
