Scrached driver's window
The driver's window (RHD) of the 75 I drive has the obligatory vertical scraches through 114K miles - window up and down against a gritty (till I realised and started to clean it with a detailing brush) weather strip. - 2004 plate. Can anyone recommend a glass polisher? If so, would it be cost effective?

The best option is to buy a new dropglass and make sure the weather strip is kept clean. Brian P.S. I install and maintain glass tempering furnaces for a living |

Cerium oxide is a glass polisher, but you'll be polishing for 10 years. Just put a new one in. Also, get a flat blade knife or screwdriver, wrap it in cloth and slide it between the glass and rubber seal, drag it along and you'll be surprised what comes out

Driver's window advise.
Hi Thanks for the tips. I have been using a detailing brush to clean the tops of the weather seals. Will use the knife/screwdriver technique.
A guy suggested trying to sourch a front passenger window from a LHD 75. Another guy, via a different platform, has been in touch to offer me such a window - he stated great condition. £25 posted. Adam |

That price is OK if the window glass is as good as he says.
