'06 window grease streaks
So I took my '06 Z to the dealer today (Daland Nissan in Millbrae, CA).
One of my complaints was grease streaks on both windows. It looks exactly like pictures I've seen, and the drawing on the TSB. Anyways I left the car there all day, and got the call to pick it up in the late afternoon. No issues resolved as they "could not be duplicated". The service rep told me the windows were just dirty, and that the grease streak TSB only applies to '03-'05's. He also said it was impossible for the window to have grease streaks since the "'06's don't even have the same parts that were causing the grease streaks in previous years" and "it doesn't have the roller that was causing it". I argued the point that it absolutely has grease streaks on the inside of the windows that appears in the exact same spot, and isn't easy to clean off like dirt.
Is this guy full of Shlt? Any of you '06 owners have this TSB done?

Greese lines are a known problem on 03-05 models (which you and I have) but not 06, this is the first I heard.
I also have the same problem on my 03 but have not attempted to get it fixed, does not bother me too much.

I had some streaks on my 06. Never got around to cleaning them. I think they were there since I got my car, but I just got my car back from the bodyshop and they wiped the car down inside and out. No streaks here. I have rolled the window a few times to see if i got any streaks, but none so far.

I got an 06 with streaks on drivers side. And also when i try to put the window up, it goes up then comes down about 4in. In order for it to stay up i have to hold the switch for a couple seconds. Now when i open or close the door the window no longer automatically adjust it just stays at the position i left it in blah. I have to check and see if this is covered under warranty...

Wow, no one mention about the TBA from Nissan on the grease streaks? I don't know if it applies to the 06, but the 03-05 had a TBA out and it was fixed by the dealer for free.
