Window Scratches
Is there any way to prevent vertical window scratches on the clk?
I was thinking about putting the felt lining on the outside as well?

i've been thinking about getting my windows tinted also, but the weather in so cal has been so gloom that I haven't felt the urge to just yet...
in any case, i hear a lot about the tint film scratching due to the seal alongside the window, but I can't imagine why? I've read in the past that some members feel that 'rubber strip' is very rough, but it feels pretty smooth to me.
Is there any difference between model years in regards to this rubber strip/seal?

heres the thing
you can get the felt strip on the inside to protect the tint and it wont scratch. However....the window will then be pressed up against the outer molding much harder and scratch on the outside.
That is why I am wondering if you could put a felt strip on the outside as well to stop scratches on the tint and on the outer side of the window

i think its crazy
i think its crazy you cant open a window on a benz without fear of scratching? What is the benefit they see in making it so tight? This is definitely a plus for a BMW

you guys jinxed me...I never had a scratch until sunday. Now theres a vertical line up the driver's side window. There was a small pebble stuck in the window seal. Its hard to see the scratch though, unless you know its there.
