Thanks South, seems like I didn't search well enough... I will try and do the tint protector as well. FWIW, I have 3M 30% on my car. Doesn't seem like film thickness makes any difference, though.

There is a slight difference. The OEM felt is lighter and thinner than the moleskin stuff.

They both felt more than soft enough to not scratch. The marks I am getting are streaks and not scratches. I hardly ever roll down my windows but when I do they appear from time to time. Not every time.

Tried getting my dealer to warranty replacement of the seals but no dice - said the dirt that got in the seals causing the scratches was my fault for driving in "dirty areas" with the windows down. Such BS...
Anybody know how to try and take this up with BMWNA? I know it has no chance but will call. I have the number, just wondering if anybody has had success getting them to look in to part flaws/problems like this. Probably not but... anybody? |

Well you could try to play the "But the other kids get to...." card. My dealer not only installed the mole skin and had the tint replaced free of charge, they offered to reimburse me for the mole skin (29 dollars).
I would call BMWNA and talk to then, try to make the argument that it is a production flaw and that many owners are in the same boat as you, reference this thread if necessary.

For those of you still wondering if the tintprotector works for the e90, it does! I had my tint done the day I got the car (johnson, 20%) read to my horror about scratches so I ordered the tintprotector kit. It arrived two days later, installed it with the very good enclosed instructions and I have had NO scratches at all in all four windows. Taking off the door panels is the way to go, and its pretty easy just takes a little time to make sure that you do it right, and making sure that the rubber gaskets around the connecting brackets all make it back on prior to reinstallation.
If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer-

Ugh I'm having thus issue too on my 09 sedan. My tint shop has the moleskin that he can install for me, but hasn't seen the issue yet on any BMWs. I'll have to take a closer look to see if I want the tint redone or not..

I have had the moleskin for about 2 months now and not one scratch. It does work.

I took my 92 M3 in for my 1200 mile service a couple of days ago and I'm the windows down music up type of guy. So as soon and as I got home and rolled my windows I noticed this residue that a few people have mentioned. Being a mechanic for 10 plus years i figured that they just overgreased the window guides. Anybody else see this to be a feasible reason for the residue on the coupe windows? I do not have window tint yet but am looking to do so very soon. I just wonder if anybody else thinks the residue could be from regular maint of our vehicles?
I just took a quick peek at my window seals with the window rolled down and have found that both of the inside seals are very soft and of felt material. And i didnt have to take the door panel off to do so, i just stuck my pinkie finger down in there and felt both seals are felt, much softer than the outside seal. I believe that the residue, white lithium grease, or what ever product BMW uses is saturating this felt strip thus causing the residue streaks. It only left a streak in one spot where I could assume a window guide would be and after about five roll ups the residue didnt show up again. I will call BMW tommorow and see if they grease the windows as part of the reg maint so we can identify this mysterious "residue". Justin
