Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Had this problem on both my Carreras, and the dealer replaced the pads (don't let them try to clean them--it's only a temporary solution).

The first time I saw a grease spot like that I thought some kid left a nose print on my window while checking things out.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think I saw a post on this problem somewhere on this list in the past but I can't seem to bring it up. I have small round grease spots on the upper rear section of my drivers and passenger side windows. I think they are caused by pads inside the doors getting soiled. I have asked my dealer to take care of them twice but to no avail. They supposedly tried to clean them up but I don't think they touched them at all. My service adviser says they need to be greased up for them to work. However the grease marks look really nasty and I want to get rid of them. Anyone know what the story is with these? Is there a TSB on them?

POST 2Original post

No TSBs that I see.

POST 3Original post

This is a common problem on Porsche windows. There are felt pads and if they get dirty, the'll leave those smear marks. Had this problem on both my Carreras, and the dealer replaced the pads (don't let them try to clean them--it's only a temporary solution). And they don't need to be greased up to work!!! Try another dealer.

POST 4Original post

I have the same problem. Little round grease spot in the upper right corner. Drives me nuts.

POST 5Original post

Yeah, I've noticed that too. The first time I saw a grease spot like that I thought some kid left a nose print on my window while checking things out. Should this be a warranty repair item? Seems like a lot of work just to change a pad. Maybe that's why a dealer would poo-poo your request to have it taken care of. Mark Jay 2000 C2 Silver/Black

POST 6Original post

You guys are lucky! I get a round mark that smears all the way down, on both sides!

POST 7Original post

Me lucky, got demi-smear. My dealer better not poo-poo any part of my P-P-car, not for 85 large. -DT
