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.

But as the "scratch" grew, I started to suspect a problem relating to the window regulator.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A mysterious window scratch has shown up on the inside glass/driver's side of my beloved '99 996 cabriolet. See attached pic. below. Sorry for the poor photo quality; scratch is about 9" long and runs from the front corner downward slightly, and its getting worse! To explain further, my windows have been tinted...work done about 7 years ago by the first Florida owner. So the scratch has cut away at the tint, But I don't think its into the glass yet. Comments?

POST 2Original post

Does your fingernail catch in the actual glass(not tint)? If it does, you may need a new window. If it doesn't, you may be able to polish it out with glass polishing compound.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Initially, I thought the problem was caused by the tint buckling as I could easily feel the "scratch" with my finger nail. But as the "scratch" grew, I started to suspect a problem relating to the window regulator. But I'm still open to other ideas. relinuca

may need to pry open the door panels and inspect if there is anything causing the scratch?

POST 7Original post

Same thing happened to my tint this summer for some reason, in the exact same place, for me, just pulled the old tint off, and had it re-done with ceramic tint, should last a few years again.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
