Windows

[Nate03]

Just noticed I am getting vertical scratches on my windows. It appears it is on all of them some lesser than others. It seems like it’s something in the felt or something. Never had this issue on any other car. Anyone else have the iss and know what to do?

So I found other threads with people with the same issue for years on almost every Ford vehicle. I am actually really freaking pissed. This is my first Ford and what blows my mind is it seems known issues are the same year after year and Ford just doesn’t address them. I have NEVER had this issue on any Other brand I have owned in the past. This is a freaking 2017!!

I tried looking in the rubber grommet on their crappy design and do see dirt particles. What a joke. Guess I can’t use the windows and will have to consistently clean that channel out if God forbid I go to a drive through. Ugggh. This may sound dumb but I wonder if some sort of lubricant like WD40 sprayed down there would help.

My truck is an 07 I’ve never had problems with windows scratching and they still look brand new after the years. Whatever it is will probably come off it’s got to be really hard to scratch glass.

Inside or outside?

My 08 windows are all scratched up, on the outside. Vertical scratches. Guess crap gets stuck in there...

If you drive in sandy areas the sand can get caught in the felt and cause scratches.

Believe it or not, pollen is incredibly abrasive (take a look at it under a microscope). It's that time of year for it to get everywhere. I know it can cake on the edge of the rubber "wipe" strips. Perhaps it might start scratching if it builds up enough?

No issues with my 17

No issues either with my '17, and I drive it off-road in extremely dusty conditions. I actually expect some scratching, but none yet...

Here in the desert WD stands for Wet Dirt because dust sticks to it. Try a silicone lubricant.
