Rubbed windows
I have a 2000 camaro 3.8 with manual roll windows. I have had the car since the begining of 2001 and roll the windows up and down all the time. I don't really like using the air conditioning. I got the windows tinted 20 on the tint scale I would say about 2.5 yrs. ago at a tint shop that I belive did a pretty good job, ( I watched the installer do it.)
Well for a wile now I have relised and it has gotten bad that the window looks dirty or rubbed. It looks really bad against the dark tinted window but I can't tell what it is. I have gone to a dealership and they didnot know. I can't tell if its the window tint or the wintow but it looks ingraved in the window. Is there anything I can do to fix this?? |

Re: Rubbed windows
and u cant get it off with window cleaner?
if not its probably ur tint is going bad and fading, or you put something on there that was not supposed to come in contact with the tint. |

I see what you mean now. Looks like your weatherstripping is the culprit or whatever its called. Try maybe some auto window cleaner, im not sure if it's different than windex but it should probably get it done, if not then wait for someone elses suggestions.

Re: Rubbed windows
When i got my windows tinted they said not to use anything with amonia in it, it will discolor the tint.

Re: Rubbed windows
to be honost, it looks like smeared hard water stains or something.
it does look like the little ruber pieces at the bottom of the window put those marks there. try cleaning the outside of the glass with a strong cleaner. |

Re: Rubbed windows
My rear window kinda looks like that too. The way to get rid of it is a window acid wash, I would try that but have a pro do it so you don't mess up your paint etc.
