New guy needs help.
First, I would like to say how much I enjoy the CF, lots of great ideas and helpful discussions on these threads. I am an 05' DSOM MN6 Coupe owner since May 05'. My question is, how do you protect that bottom 1/2'" of your side windows? My windows are getting little scratches from the window indexing and I try like heck to keep everything clean. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I put 19,000 on my 05 in 18 months and never had a problem with that. Sounds like something down inside the door is doing it. Ask your dealer to take a look at it.

1. Put the window all the way down.
2. Insert a microfiber cloth into the window track.
3. Run it back & forth several times to clean the track.
4. Inspect the cloth for grit.
5. Repeat as necessary
6. Drink Heavily

I clean my windows only with water and microfiber towels only because they are tinted. Never had the problem with the windows being scratched though.
