failed window guides?-bad scratches


Recommended Posts

Howdy,

My drivers side window has some bad sratches in two places that seem to me to coincide with it scraping when going up and down. My passenger side window has started this too.

Could this be the guides worn or something? They are electric of course.

I want to get my car tinted, but I should get this fixed before I get it done.

Does anyone know how to fix this!?!?

Thanks for any help in advance...

Mines the same.. its got 2 scratches on the drivers-side window... gives me the sh!ts!!!

Anyway you can stop it from happening??

its pretty common.. cos ive seen a few skylines with the same sh!tty scratches..

you can get them p;olished out, dunno how much it costs, but as for fixing it dont try it yourself, i tried and tightened the window runners too tight when i put it back, im sure they are now clean but whenh iu over tightened i scratched my tint a bit on the inside and now have to get the window re-tinted, so we'll see if that gets scratched when im done getting it replaced :P

Sounds like the scratches are on the outside, basically your options are...

If they are not deep Windscreen O'brien or someone similar maybe able to buff them out and fix it

Or just get new windows if they cant

Basically your seals would have a gap somewhere and when crap gets down there and rubs against the windows it causes this light scratching. I have the same but havnt bothered to fix it, however I did enquire how and my options I received are what I listed above

Good Luck

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
