How to Solve Scratches Left on Window Glass When Rolling Up and Down?
2 Answers
In cases where the scratches are relatively shallow, polishing can be performed. For large-area deep scratches, manual operation generally cannot achieve precise grinding results, and in such cases, it is recommended to replace the glass with a new one. Below are some related issues regarding scratches on car window glass: 1. Methods to deal with scratches left on the glass when rolling the window up and down: apply toothpaste (toothpaste can mask minor scratches), apply ammonia water, or visit a professional auto glass shop where specialized repair devices can fix the issue. 2. Polishing treatment: When performing polishing, try to use high-precision equipment. Using a low-precision polishing machine can easily result in uneven surfaces under high-temperature grinding, and improper operation may cause more severe damage due to glass grinding.
I noticed scratches when rolling the car window up and down, which is often caused by accumulated dust or small stones in the window channel. I've dealt with similar issues before. My suggestion is to first park and turn off the engine, then thoroughly clean the window track and seals with a small brush or damp cloth. If the track is too dirty, you can lightly spray some specialized lubricant and roll the window up and down a few times to ensure smooth operation. For older cars, the rubber seals might be worn or deformed and need replacement—new parts aren't expensive online. Remember, don’t force the window button, as this can worsen the scratches on the glass. Regularly cleaning the window channel during car washes can prevent the issue. Deep scratches can affect visibility and safety, so if the problem persists, it’s best to consult a professional mechanic to avoid further trouble.
