Scratch removal on windows

[gun-r32]

Ive got some fine scratches on my windows, from where the seals have worn and been rubbing up against something in the door.

Can anyone suggest how to get them out? I was thinking of trying polish, but dont want to make them worse, and Im unsure what to use?

Any help is much appreciated

I had the similar problem, when I first got the car there were scratches where the bushes had died. I tried buffing, silvo, oven window cleaner with not much luck, in the end I just went to Just Jap and bought a second hand window for $120 and filed down the little white plastic bits that were rubbing.

Hope yours weren't as scratched as mine.

think most R32 suffer that problem.. there is another thread in maintenance.. I don't think there is any easy solution.

I fit car windscreens for a living and if u can feel the scratches with your finger nail they are 2 deep to polish out otherwise contact a windscreen person and they can normially use speciaL polish

thanks a lot man, I ran my nail on it, and couldnt feel a thing, so yeah, might take it to Novus or something this week. Still need to find whats causing it tho, otherwise it will keep happening. Time to remove door skin!

There are two guides that sit either side of the window to guide it up in place (because there is no door frame to hold it otherwise). Over time these wear away the soft foam padding to expose the plastic behind it, which then if not fixed leaves some very very nice deep scratches down the side of the window. Only way to propaply fix it is to remove the old foam and fit some new ones in. Grinding away the plastic will only allow the glass to move freely in the guide.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

yeah as mentioned the best bet is to buy new windows!

Hi guys, I bought some new ajustable sliders through Nissan, they are ex Japan and cost roughtly $25-$30 each and their are two per window. I think if you can glue some leather or some veleur (spelling) onto the white plastic it would help. After all new ones are only some furry kind of materiel that wears out over time.

I have replaced both my windows recently, I think what was causing the window scratching problem was the 5 little white plastic clips that touches the window when the furry protector thing wears down (Very techincal here ). I've replaced the indows and sand down the clips abit and haven't had a problem so far.
