Problem overview

Some GMC K2500 owners report experiencing scratches on their windows, often attributed to dirt and debris accumulation in the window channels. These scratches typically occur when accumulated dirt gets pressed against the glass as the windows are rolled up and down. To prevent further scratching, it is crucial for owners to clean the window channels thoroughly to remove any debris. One effective technique involves rolling the window down and using a plastic spatula wrapped in a towel to dislodge the accumulated dirt. Additionally, some owners find that restoration products can help restore clarity to hazy glass surfaces. While minor scratches may be removable, it is essential to approach this with caution and seek professional advice to avoid exacerbating the damage. Owners are also advised to be mindful of potential scratching causes, such as leaning objects against the windows, which can lead to significant damage.
