I have power windows on my cobalt (coupe) and I've had it since the end of June. A week or two after getting my car, I noticed that whenever I put the driver's window down or up, it sounds like something inside my door is scratching my windows and the scratches show on my window. This doesn't happen when I use my passenger window. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm thinking there might be stuff from trees somewhere in my door which is causing this to happen.

 

same problem, bump

 

The window liner is dirty and the dirt in the liner is scratching the tint on your car. You can take it off and clean it. But if it is the teflon window liner it will get dirty again and begin scratching your tint again. I'm not sure about Cobalts but on my ion I had the same problem and when I had my car retinted I had them replace the window liner from teflon to felt strips and now I have no issues.

Hope that helps!

 

the dealer oiled my motors and it went away fr a little while i agree with the other idea more i think they moved the liner and it went bck so it seeed like it worked.

 

thanks

ill do that in the AM

 

i'll look into that because that sounds like it could be the problem. thank you so much for your help!

 

This^^. I noticed small rocks would get caught in that felt liner on the outside that seals the window at the bottom.
