Can you also send help me Loren. Evertime I lower my window it got all dirty when I raise it again. Someone else who has experienced the same?
Unfortunately, a common problem with no easy cure. There are felt-like strips that help guide the window in the frame (quietly). If these strips get grease on them or some other type of car cleaner/protectant then they will smear the stuff on the window each time it is opened or closed. Sometimes it goes away on it's own (wears off) and sometimes if you clean the window several times in a row you will minimize it or clear it off.

Hi,

Could you help me also? I am trying to install the Aluminum look storage covers, and it looks like taking the door panel off is the only way.

Thanks,

The hinges of my storage bin cover was rubbing against the airbag in the door. The dealer removed the door trim panel, insulated the hinges from the airbag and re-installed the panel. Months later I noticed that the trim panel is not fully enguaged in the door subframe (the Workshop Manual specifically warns against this improper installation). I am hesitant to ask the dealer to R/I the panel because I am concerned of possible rattle(s) after the installation (even if they put new fastening clips). Should I be concerned?

Probably.
