scratched side windows

[pamelab21]

Hi all
I have found a Cooper S that I am very interested in however the side windows appear to have scratches on them, poss someone being careless when scraping ice? Anyway when you run your nails down the glass you can def feel the scratches.
Does anyone know if this can be repaired or has anyone had this and successfully repaired the scratches?
Alternatively has anyone experienced this on a Cooper? Is it the window mechanism etc that could be causing the damage?

Thanks
Pamela

Are they vertical scratches?

Some cars have an "issue" with the seals that smear the window when you put the window down. However I've never heard of it scratching.

As for repairing that, wouldn't think it's doable.

they actually run in both directions. which is odd and what made us think scraping windows may have done it, although it does have some odd v shaped ones too......odd.

Could have been a nasty car wash? V shaped could be a scraper if used in a manner other than directed.

I doubt that could be fixed without replacing the windows - something I would not want done.

Keep looking Pamela...

A diamond ring could cause scratches to glass....but I'm not blaming the female of the species.

We all know they are the smarter and wisest.

something rings a bell that there is a type of polish that window fitters use that can remove scratches. I think it was called jewelers polish but im not to sure. Im sure it was a glash fitter that told me about it. Why not try and contact some one like auto glass, they can take chips out your windscreen so they may be able to sort somehthing for you.
P.S dont get the windows tinted if they are scratched because the tint will show up the scratches really bad. :)

My dad had bad scrathes on his TT repaired by a glass specialist in our area. He used a special polish to do it. Window looks brand new again.

Would you be able to provide contact details of company who repaired your dads TT windows, and also location?

Thanks
