Found some scratches on the back glass, just have to live with them? They are fairly small, but 8 or so of them in a cluster near the center, not very deep, but you can feel them with your finger.

That's pretty much my thought, although I was using much more colorful language yesterday. I will point it out to them when I go in to get the mobile charger replaced, but expect a "you took delivery without noting it on order bill" response.

I have one scratch on the back glass as well. I am thinking the dealer is going to say the same. Plus I dont think the glass is available to replace and dont want to replace it and take risk. So I am stuck with living with it but will try the sand polishing

Yea, the ceriglass polish might be worth trying, just want to be sure I don't make it worse. If its was just 1, 2 or 3 scratches I would let it go, but we will see. In the garage under the studio lights I see everything, when I get it outside if they aren't noticeable I'll just have to let it go. Not worth replacing the glass I know that is true.

I had a pretty big scratch on a plastic rear light housing a while back and the heavier duty plastic polish (3 grits) took it right out.

I have scratches on my left rear passenger window. 6-8 scratches that aren’t uniform and run haphazardly. That has me thinking it’s not from window lowering/raising. I haven’t even washed it yet so This has to be from plant or transport.
Anyone seen similar?

I have the same. I took the car immediately for a ceramic coat upon delivery and they pointed out the scratches to me. Figured because I didn’t point it out to them at time of deliver, there is nothing I can do. Looking to read if a glass repair place can buff them out.

I've noticed scratches on the back glass and the drivers rear door glass. They run horizontal. The back glass is super noticeable in the back glass in certain light.

Just took my MME to have windows tinted. Installer sent me photos of rear drivers side horizontal scratches. There are multiple horizontal scratches, he thinks it could be from the dealer using a tool to remove the window sticker. Anyone have luck removing these with polishing or found a shop to do it? He mentioned that the scratches will look worse after applying the tint.

Exactly how my rear driver side window looks. I think they have a bad assembly process somewhere that is scratching them. Far too many for this to be accidental at the dealerships.

Yep. Add me to the growing list! I have a GT built in July. I couldn't get a great picture but I too have multiple (6+) horizontal and vertical deep scratches on the driver's side passenger window glass in exact same area! Very interesting indeed! My awesome dealer's service and customer relations folks fully authorized passenger window glass replacement without question! I just asked for a quick detail polish at the dealer, but their custom's and service folks said this is way too difficult on side glass and scratches were deep. In the glass shop now... Took 1 day for the part order!
