I read the tsb for this which mentions new weatherstripping and new glass as a fix. Then I read where people with the new weatherstripping still had this problem. My passengers window has one deep scratch and it sounds like a diamond bit in the door grinding against it but only when rolling them up. I have removed and cleaned the weatherstripping and can find no reason this is happening. Has anyone successfully cured this and how? Thanks!

 

No idea here either but my windows look bad too

 

I'm in the same boat, went on vacation and this happened...
I have a few scratches on my driver and passenger side from lowering and raising my windows.
When I get the time I'm replacing both the rubber and the glass. Don't know of another cure.

I will tell you if you have it done at ford and it scratches up again they will replace it under there 2 year warranty.

 

Damn those wheels look good LivingLarge!

 

An alternative to the Moneybags approach is also just having a good glass shop buff and polish the windows. Similar to getting scuffs and scratches polished out of a watch crystal.

 

Thanks Matt, tomorrow I'll call rolex and have my windows custom made from watch crystal

 

I just have one scratch and its deep. Sounds like something cutting into the glass when raising it. But I can't see anything capable of that. Its a lower priority issue, I just want to stop it from getting worse. Thanks for the advice!

 

Well that didn't go as I had hoped, hahaha. Well played sir.

 

There are folks that buff out the scratches on the glass/ceramic range tops with metal polish and a buffer. I don't see why it wouldn't work on auto glass. Knock on wood, none of mine are scratched...YET.

 

Because that would be to easy... I think I may give this a shot since I don't have tint on my windows! I can be the guinea pig lol. Now to acquire the items...

 

You can not polish out the heavy scratches in your door windows. They time spent to polish would not be worth the money. Also, keep in mind that polishing scratches in glass will only leave a distortion in the glass because you are removing a portion of the glass to get rid of the scratch. Replace the outer belt moulding and the glass itself.

When washing the truck roll down the windows and rub the inner part of the belt moulding with a wet rag to help remove the dirt that gets lodged in the felt/cat whisker surface that contacts the glass. Blowing it off with compressed air works great as well if you have access to a compressor.

I see this issue in my shop all the time and there is no quick and cheap repair.

 

I keep mine really clean and even use silicone on all rubber strips. Still happening. I need to take the door apart and make sure a diamond isn't lodged in there. Thanks for the tips and reassurance that I'm not the only one!

 

Reps sent... saved me some time and my glass!

 

Glass is liquid, it is constantly moving.

 

I thought that was proven wrong back in 1800 something

Glass includes all materials which are structurally similar to a liquid. However, under ambient temperature they react to the impact of force with elastic deformation and therefore have to be considered as solids.
