    I have had these scratches or markings on my windows for around 2 weeks. They are on the inside of the window, not due to anything external. I believe the scratches are from moving the window up and down, the inside surface puts those marks on the window. Can anyone give me guidance or an example if they have had something similar happen to their window?

    Hello to you too!
    I doubt the window mechanism can even do that. At the most, they would be vertical. Wash with a very good window cleaner and run your fingers over it. If under warranty, take it back for a manufacturing defect.

    Never seen anything like that on my Taco.

    However, I agree with Canadian that it can be cleaned/wiped/polished off.

    First, I would try a window cleaner spray and microfiber towel to get it cleaned.

    Then I would use a synthetic clay bar with a quick detail spray to get it scrubbed off.

    Let us know if that works.
