I don't know if this is a common problem, but I have heard it mentioned before. I get grease streaks on my front windows from the rollers inside the door. Does anyone know if this can be stopped and/or is it bad for tint?

 

Ive had them since day one, I have a 2005

 

^+1 - Would LOVE to know how to get rid of this.

 

ive got the same problem...it sucks...only part i cant keep clean

 

are you guys talking about the crap along the top (inside) of the window?

if so i have this too (on a 2006)

 

never noticed anything on my windows

 

Look closer...its THERE

 

theres a TSB on that for the 03's. check the infiniti site.

 

take it to the dealer. There is a recall on the window motor. I had the same think and they changed out the motor and its fine.

 

okay i dont think i have the same problem as you guys..

can someone with this problem explain it a little more elaborately?

 

It's a verticle streak about 3/4 of an inch wide, from about 3 inches below the top, all the way down. It shows up about 2 days after I wash the windows. I was thinking I could take the door panels off and wipe off some of the grease, but I don't want to dry out the roller too much. It is an '03 so I'll check into the recall issue on the motor.

 

Actually everyone, there is a tsb on the grease streaks. Although they suck. The dealer will either usually change the window regulator or will apply a felt tape to certain portions of the regulator to stop the streaks.

I've had them both done, numerous times, to each window. Theres no stopping the streaks. They always come back. I thought it was stictly an Infiniti issue until we got my wifes TL several months back and low and behold, I've got a big ol grease streak on the driver's window.

This used to bother me a lot. Now I just accept it as trade off for driving a sweet car.

 

I take it this grease is safe for tint, since no one mentioned anything. If it's ok with tint, I'm ok with cleaning them off the window.

 

My '03 has the same streaking problem as well. I haven't had the TSB done because I've heard, from other members in the distant past, that the repair sometimes causes different problems, such as new door rattles. Since I'm not going to take that chance, I'll just keep cleaning them off as needed.

 

yeah...little things like this bother me on a 35k car but I would rather live with it than have some dumba$$ take my doors off and create an even bigger problem...I hate dealerships touching my cars.
