hi guys,

i even searched in the general forum about window marks , however all i got was dozens of threads about window motor problems.

i have a 2003 coupe , everytime i roll up my passenger and driver's side windows, the window ,mostly middle part is covered with plastic stain, its not that it cant be cleaned, but it shows the windows pretty bad. usually you really have to put some pressure while you are wiping the stain off.
I think I have to change the plastic thing which the window rolls down to.

anyone had the same problem and any idea how much would it cost? and if you don't mind where as well.

thanks a lot in advance.

 

This is an old problem with earlier cars,
a lot of guys complained about this even when the cars were new.

IDK what the solution is though ...sorry.

 

i will try simone performance tomorrow, since im getting a strange engine noise when i push the gas a little bit hard (not that much) . it might be the engine mount ,can be loose.

 

the solution is there is a TSB for that.

 

im sorry if u dont mind explaining ,what's TSB ?

 

found the attached tsb regarding windows streaking. hope it helps.

 

thank you so much for the help giddyup69, seems like the whole window kit has to be re-installed. i dont think i can do it myself i guess i can take this copy and go to Simones, he probably knows about this anyways.

 

TSB is a technical service bulleten when something goes wrong not worthy of a recall the issue a TSB they are covered under warr. but if yours is up you can do most of them yourself go to infinitihelp.com

 

thx snakes1021 , i did not know the acronym, my warranty is already done, so i have to get it done at mechanics, the thing is it will take quiet a while so the labor cost is high, basically material part of the repair is almost nothing.its mostly adjusting.

 

From what i understand the outh window trim rubber has a felt liner to allow it to squeege the window but not scratch it from dirt. Because of the curve and poor engineering of the curve the window has a pressure point where ti meets teh glass and causes the felt to wear off.
If you can reattach some felt it might help . Would need to see it in person to find a diy fix besides replacing the whole trim.
One option is to use 300 grit sandpaper on the rubber which will scuff it enough to stop the rubber from pressing tightly against the glass..
