failed window guides?-bad scratches

[cobo_11]

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...

I have checked the "run" for stones and any obstructions, all clear. Has to be something mechanical...??

the scratches are caused from the internal of your doors. peel the trim slightly open. You should see 2 white rollers which supports the window. They are the one's which causes the 2 line scratches. It should not matter if you get your windows tinted.

Is there anyway to stop it from happening? I want to repair or replace the window so it looks better (it's really bad).

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

[cobo_11]

let us know if you could DJ_L3ThAL, I would like to know if what you did (cleaning?) fixed it or not.

Should I take it to Nissan (I know they charge HEAPS, but I am desperate) or some other place like AVO, ICE, etc...?

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
