Window scratches
Have any of you guys noticed scratches on the window from what seems to be going up & down lines. I just noticed this yesterday. Not 100% sure if its only on the tint or on the window too. Is this a known problem with these windows/doors? How is this corrected?

RE: Window scratches
Yup, mine is scratced about.. 10-15 scratches on each window, and its in the glass too not just the tint. It happened after I got my tint though, so because I put the tint on Ford wont warranty the windows, so were taking the tint off the front windows, then having Ford replace the scratched windows and make sure that nothing in the door will scratch it again, then getting them retinted.

RE: Window scratches
They'll replace scratched windows under warranty? Sounds like something they'd label as "normal wear and tear". My windows has scratches as well (stock, no tint). If it's true, i'd love for them to replace mine.

RE: Window scratches
They will not replace scratched windows under warranty unless they tinted them.
I just installed a moleskin kit myself and had the windows retinted about 7 days ago. I have not rolled down my windows yet but I'm hoping this fixed the problem.

RE: Window scratches
One other question. Are the scratches supposed to be confined to an specific area above the handle? I ask because I thought I read that someplace. The scratches I have are above the handle but also near the lock. (There are alot near the lock, only 1 or 2 near the handle)

RE: Window scratches
Yeah I'm gonna try that stuff once I take the tint off to see if my window is scratched as well. If it is I will get the dealer to replace and then add that moleskin and retint. Hassles, hassles, hassles. Why couldnt they just make a better design....geeez
