Door window scratches?

[cyberpilled]

Just noticed this today. At 2600 miles. It’s happening to all 4 door windows but the driver’s door is the worst.

Fixable? or take it to service?

I don't see any scratches? Maybe some surface contamination...

They shine at angles. Hard to see, but most definitely there. Windows are clean too

Ahhh, you mean like this?

OK sure, that doesn't belong there lol. The windows shouldn't touch anything inside the doors, but maybe there's an abrasive lodged in the window seal. I've not noticed any such scratches myself.

I've used Adam's Glass Polish to superclean the glass, but any glass polish should help with light scratches.

I see those watermark streaks on the glass. You and I have different definitions of the word "clean"

...or so my therapist keeps telling me

I have vertical scratches on several of my windows. Deep enough to hang a fingernail. Never been on a dirt road, but live out in the country. Must have got grit down in the sill at one point.

I’d say take it to service. Seeing scratches at just 2,600 miles on all four door windows sounds like more than just wear and tear. Could be a misalignment or window-trimming issue.
You might try something like a clear protective film first, but given it’s hitting every door, I’d get it checked officially. And if you’re thinking about DIY for smaller spots later, I’ve heard of folks using kits from touch up direct. But I read that those are mostly for paint/finish, or maybe I didn't find the products for windows. You can call them if interested.
