Styling Why the scratches?

[Dan]

I went to have a look at a cinq sporting today. The car was in cool condition, but there were loadsa really fine scrathes goin straight down the drivers window! When the window went down there was a slight scrathing niose! Couldn't uderstand it coz the scratches were even in thickness, so couldnt reall be a crash... Any 1 have any ideas?

It might need new weather seals thats what might br scratching it when it goes up and down

 

[Dan]

I wouldnt have thought that the rubber could scratch glass though would it?

 

[imola_fowkes]

there could be something on the rubber

 

[Dan]

Dont think it can be as it would leave uneven scrathes! these were fine ones going loadsa times down the window!

 

[imola_fowkes]

oh just a thaught

 

[Dan]

Cheers anyway for the quick reply, but u can see why i'm confused! Any1 else got any ideas?

yeah, the car has been near the sea side and has got sand in the seals, then the window has been wound down. mine has these styling scratches

 

[Dan]

Yeah, that sounds more likely. So if i order a new window and clean out the door of all the crap, that should sort it?
Cant really take someone elses car apart to look, thats the ptroblem, plus it took me 2 hours to get there!

 

[imola_fowkes]

i knew it had something to with the seals

i'm a full time window tinter and i see this a lot!!!

it's 100%dirt/sand etc. in the window rubbers scartching the window.

the saxo/106 is the worst out there for this problem as the interior window rubber has no felt coating!!!

haven't come across any fiats with a bad scratch problem though!

Car is crap condition outside, but nothing a few chemicals cant fix! Mechanically is perfect as owned by a fiat mechanic. lol
