    On the insides??
    if it is.. yeah... lots of us have been there..
    apparently it's some grease from the winder mechanisms inside the door..
    It's a pain. every time you wipe it, it comes back the next time the window is down..

    I dunno.. did anyone ever find a fix for it

    :question:

    As LnL says its a common problem, and I have never heard of anyone that has fully resolved it. I know heaps of people took them to the dealers and various things were tried but as far as I know it still happens. Mine arent too bad so I have never been too bothered, but I know on some peoples cars it was horrendous

    Was a nightmare on mine, the only thing i found that helped was to keep the windows and seals as clean as possible (get the windolene out!) and it seemed to help a wee bit, but other than that, I just had a cloth handy at all times.
