Wondering if anyone is noticing any issues with the driver side window. Seeing little scratches that appear to be from rolling window up and down. Appear to be on the outside of the window. Made sure that the scrubber is clean and no debris. Thoughts?

I just took delivery of my Premium here in Atlanta and noticed scratches on outside of my left passenger window. At first I thought it was the tinted or smudges but it is actual scratches in the glass. Not from window going up and down as they aren’t uniform and they aren’t vertical.
Anyone noticing same? I’ve sent image to my “salesperson” twice and am not getting a response.

I had the same on my awd on delivery. Same window as well. They were so faint I actually did not see them on my walkaround inspection, the dealer pointed them out to me and showed me the paperwork ordering a new left pax window. In my case, I still can't see them unless I'm looking at just the right angle and the right sunlight.

The detailer who did the ceramic coating says she thinks they're razor blade scratches, but I'm not convinced because they appear internal and can't be felt at all. And, as I said, not noticeable unless you're told they're there.

Unfortunately I can feel mine when I run fingers over. Literally groves. I wondered whether it happened when they removed the window sticker? I’ll update when I finally get Jim Ellis dealership to respond.

Hey Doug - did you ever hear back from Jim Ellis?

I haven't noticed scratches like that, but I have noticed the MME glass seems to be very susceptible to water spots that are a beast to try to remove. I've had many cars over the past 20 years, and the only other one that seemed to have the issue to this degree was my OG Honda Fit -- I finally just gave up trying to keep the windows pristine on that one.

The windshield also seems easily pitted/scratched by road debris. Not sure if the type of glass used has anything to do with weight reduction, or maybe the slope of the windows that allows water to stand in place or windshield strikes to do more damage,. but it's one of the things I find myself disappointed with about with the MME.

Or maybe it's just my imagination and I'm being overly-critical -- I won't claim to be an expert on auto glass :)

I did and the dealership replaced the glass. Of course, they had my car for 4 weeks while I awaited a new power steering module to be procured.

I had the exact same thing just happen to me. I took the vehicle home Tuesday night so I could not see them on the walkthrough, but noticed it the following morning. I was told they need to order a new window. Annoying and definitely noticeable up close, but they are relatively minor.

How long will/did it take for your window to arrive?

My car was at the dealership for 3 1/2 weeks awaiting a new power steering module so I don’t know exactly when the window showed up but I do remember the service guy sang at the window was in so maybe a week or week and a half??

One of the morons at the dealership decided to take the window sticker off with what looks to be a razor blade and clearly scraped the window. It's barely noticeable unless you're right up close, but they ordered my glass today. Hopefully its gets here within a week or two.
