Is anyone else having issues with deep scratches in their windows & windshield?
I would like to have a screen protection applied to all the windows, does anyone have any recommendations on what company to use?

Thanks

I noticed my driver side window having vertical scratches at around 400 miles of ownership. The glass is made of butter. :roflsquared::crazy:


Seriously, never had an issue like this before. My theory is that horizontal gasket on the driver side window is too tight of a fit, a piece of sand or debris is all it takes to score the soft putty like glazing.
I make sure I run a rag folded over a credit card and clean the inside of the horizontal outside black gasket on driver door periodically, thus far I still have the 2 or 3 original scratches and no more.

Both my driver and passenger front windows have deep vertical scratches. It drives me up a wall seeing it. I'll have to make sure the gasket is cleaned...I hate these scratches.

If you go off road or run extra wide tires on the road especially on a rainy day it will throw debris on the door windows. This dirt, sand and even small stones get between the seal and the glass when the window goes down. I am thinking if the scratches are on the windshield you may have thrown mud up on it and turned on the wipers? The best solution is don't roll the windows up and down or run the wipers when the truck is dirty. Not practical I know but the other option is scratched glass. Fender flares or mud flaps will reduce how much dirt flies high enough to get on your glass.

I had both my front door glasses replaced on my 2013 under warranty for this problem
