Title: Sucker marks on window (How to remove)
Post by: VWKev on 20 November 2009, 12:54
I've tried a few things to remove the sucker marks left on the outside of the front car window to no avail. These marks are made by the suckers on the machines in the factory that place the glass in place on the car. They are like 2 circles at the left, middle and the right of the glass.

I have tried Meguires nxt glass cleaner, car shampoo, plain old soap and vinegar but nothing works so far.

You cant see them when the window is clear, but when the condensation builds up you can see them then, its getting kinda annoying.

any idea's ?

you sure you don't need to take the car back over this?  :laugh:

have you tried glass cutting polish?  or a decent glass polish such as autosmart silver screen?

I've rubbed and rubbed those marks I have on my glass almost to the point that I've worn them down, gonna have to call autoglass shortly.  :grin:

I've tried many things and can't get rid of them. The problem only happens when the windows mist up so not an issue when driving.

I use AG glass polish and a proper glass polishing cloth to help.
