I've noticed on atleast three scoobies of the same age, same as mine, that I'm thinking it may be the mechanisim causing scratch lines on all the windows?? It's quite obivious, just wanted to know if anyone else has encountered the same thing???? My scooby is a 96 v3 sti! Cheers

 

My brothers 96 has it on the windows and my 99.Think it is more to do with girt in the felts of the window seals that does it.

 

wez has hit the nail on the head

 

Yea man somone mentioned that before, it must be quite common! Total pain in the ***, looks like someones keyed my window

 

Same thing happened on my 98 uk wagon..... but in particular a two inch wide strip in the same position each side (front only). It's so symmetrical it seems weird to just be grit in the seals, i'd have expected that to be a bit more random....

 

Exactly the same as mine, nice 2" pattern up both windows . MY99.

 

If you take the door apart theres a guide, replace it and the scratches wont happen, they wear out over time

 

Horse....... stable door......

Figured as much though - if i ever need to replace my windows then new guides for me!!

Thanks Anger!!

 

lol i did think that when i posted it... it maybe a bit late

 

cheers anger!...........problem solved 

 

mine got the same 2 inch strips but to deep 2 wear out no good

 

Alot more common than I thought! Anyone know where I can get a new passanger side purple wind deflector for my 96 v3 sti???? My mate cracked mine

 

same here

 

mines same and it's a 98, three out for in the centre of the window

 

Mines done it aswell and its a 98.

 

same 95

 

same on my 99 uk car - bad design

 

my type r is the same

 

I went to the Sussex Scoobies meet today and decided to keep warm by walking around and checking all the classics and i'd say 90% had the scratches in the same place

 

98 uk wagon. Iv got them too! Really lets the look of the car down

 

its a very common problem for the classics. Removing the door cards regularly and cleaning the felt should cure it. There is also a solution for removing the light scatch marks but for the life of me cant remember it lol im sure it involved vinegar but if you post up in the car care section someone will give better advice.

 

mine are queit bad now how much do you reckon new 2 door glass would be?

 

HTH

Milsport

 

Hey mate, I'm same I'll prob buy new ones eventually! Just look about I had a guy who was breaking a scooby and offered me two side windows for £30 so there's defo deals to be had

 

that was cheap

 

these are queit deep mate

 

Same problem, early 97 wagon...

 

Yep. 99 STI wagon. Same. I'm removing my wind deflectors. I have a good passenger side if anyone wants?

 

I have a scratch on my windscreen caused by the wiper and my car is an '05 STI !!
