Randy_Baton Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 My door windows are fairly scratched up, seems to be a common problem with the 350z. How much would I be looking at for new ones both sides + door seals (I presume what ever is doing the scratching is in the seals) and installation. I've read the windows are a pain to get in!

-G- Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I wouldn't go through the hassle of that until I tried polishing them out. Ever seen this? http://www.diamondite.com/ Machine polisher with that has to be worth a punt over new glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Yeah I thought about that, but when I looked into it people were saying the exact opposite. I'll have look again, my memory's bad! Edited May 20, 2016 by Randy_Baton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 If the scratches are deep enough to catch a nail on, you'll be polishing forever before you get anywhere near making progress. But by all means feel free to try. The damage is caused by the brushes on the mechanism catching dirt and grit by the way, clean those and they'll stop causing any damage for a good few years again.

Randy_Baton Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Damage is already done! I pretty much never wind my windows down, air con all the way! So getting back to my first point, whats the £ damage lily to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Damage is already done! I pretty much never wind my windows down, air con all the way! Perhaps I was a bit too vague - I meant that if you do find a remedy, that's the cause that'll need to be addressed as well. I appreciate that's of no use to you right now though. So getting back to my first point, whats the £ damage lily to be? Likely to be new glass, so a couple of hundred per side to get someone like AutoGlass to do it for you I would imagine.

Juggalo Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I wouldn't polish. I used to make mirrors for telescopes, polishing glass. It's bloody hard graft. Just buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Why not see if Zmanalex has got a decent second hand pair, will be cheaper than new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
