Scratches on front windows
After giving my car a good clean i have noticed scratch marks on both the passenger side window and the drivers side window
Now it looks like they have came from, the the window going up and down, is this a commen fault on these cars? or is it something that can be fixed?
The scratch marks are on the outside of the window btw

Is it a classic? I have had 2 classics and same problem on both cars. Had my first one from new (MY00) and yes it is to do with it catching something on the runners on the way up and down. I heard on here some people saying they took it back to the dealers and had it remedied under warranty but that's no longer possible on a classic

Yes its a classic
Supose i gotta put up with it thn!!
I want to get my front windows tinted to match the rears, would this help hide the scratch marks?
Is there anything i can do to cover up the scratches, some sort of cutting paste/polish maybe?

take the door pannel off and clean the brushes on the runners. they get covered in grime and go hard. this is what causes the scratches. then get some toothpaste and gently rub over the scratches. had the same problem when i got my classic. i asked the same question in the car care section and this was the solution

So basically clean the brushes and thn rub toothpaste on the scratches, how does the toothpaste take the scratches off??
Think im gonna make a thread in the car care section...
Cheers guys!

Go onto E Bay, Watch Face Scratch removers.
Like the folk on SN say, it's a paste that Jewllers use to polish out scratches on Watch faces.
A bit of patience & perseverence required, if you do, it will come out eventually.
My pal got his off his SAAB.
Good luck.

Right, iv had the door cards off, i can see the 2 brushes that are causing the scratches, how do i remove these and clean them?
I tryed to get them out, but seemed quite hard to do...
Also whats best to clean them with? or would it be cheap to just buy new 1's?

First put the windows down, then take door trim off, then you should see two 10 mm (i think there 10mm ) bolts, undo them and take the little brackets off (they have brushes on them too) now the window should pull towards you and then you can un clip the outer brushes ( the ones that scratch windows) off the door. Just give em a good scrub.
Its easy mate, I did mine couple weeks back , once your've take door cards off you'll see what I mean.
Don't forget to put window down makes it easier.
Hope this helps
