Whats up guys? I have a 93 LS SE and when I bought it, I noticed the driver window has these 2 long stains that run up and down accross the window. I thought after washing the window a few times that they would come out and with no luck, they never did. These marks seem to be actually stained on the outside of the window somehow. I dont know if its from the edge of the panel where the door is or what not but the stains look even worse now that I tinted the windows 15%. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or ever even herd of it? The stains are a lot darker then the window itself and it looks as if it was like armoral on the window but its definatly not. Im just thinkin of buying another window for the damn car cause its the only side that has that. I will post pics if needed. Thanks guys Nick ---

Is it a “stain” or a scratch? ---

What it looks like is someone did a shitty tint job on that window and overlapped it. Have it removed and redone. ---

Looks like the window track to me. It’s making its mark on the window. ---

yea lines like that seems like its from the window track. might wanna take the door panel off and clean the tracks as well. no matter how many times you clean it, if its the tracks then it’ll just get dirty again when you roll down the window
