Re: grinding power window

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

If you have the original window regulators, the grinding is bad and
indicates imminent failure.

I, too, have the scratches on one of my windows, but in the tint and
not the glass. It was due to the felt strip in the door coming loose
and no longer protecting the window. (Part #106129).

My driver's side window was scratched when I got the car, but this was
due to the window being out of adjustment and the owner continuing to
use it. I had that window replaced since scratched glass tends to
shatter. Check out the diagram:

Good luck,
