Default Window Scratching

This has happened now on both my Scoobies, the first had fallen off the rails but the window seems fine apart from the ****ing big scratch down the middle on this one. Even my back windows are starting to get scratched.. I assume its the rollers ?

How can I get my windows tinted? surely the rollers will rip it all off

Warranty should sort it out, if you have one. It's a known problem...
You shoudln't tint the fronts legally, anyhow: the scoob's tinting is already on about the limit of what's legal. if you get stopped, it's another thing for them to kick off about

No, still scratched, everyone wanted too much for replacement glass and fitting

The scratching is on the outside, getting windows tinted actually shows it up more....Mines are the same, much more noticable since i got them tinted.
Something to do with the guide blocks in the doors apparently...

Try Polywatch on E Bay.

It's stuff Jewellers use to polish out sctratches on Glass faces on Watches.

It' about £5-£6 a tube.

Good luck.

Every Jap car I've ever owned has dodgy windows. Granted, most of the cars have been Nissans, but still.

Maybe they can't make windows?
