Yeah, I got it on my passenger window too. WTF? The guy who designed the window should have gotten fired by now.

Make sure you make Nissan spend as much as possible fixing those windows to make up for everyone else that's out of warranty on them.

Whoever designed the windows on the 350Z needs a kick in the nuts

I've never had the problem on my 06. Of course now that I've said that it will probably be covered in grease tomorrow.

Yep, I have it in my 07.

I made a post earlier in interior/exterior forum about it.

I figured it may be the inside of my windows because I had not washed them since I got them tinted... But I have not got around to washing them and checking it out.

I rolled them down for the first time because there was so much rain on them the other day, rolled back up a couple times throughout the day then next morning I noticed them... They are still there I was so sure this issue was fixed.

yeah just got my car back, all fix and no other problem, so far. the guy said that he had to replace the whole passenger door panel, that would of set me back 500, just for the parts. good thing i was still under warranty. any 07's out there that has this problem i recommend you to fix it before your warranty void. it bugged the **** out of me when i had it and i wash the whole car just cause of the windows.

nissan probably figures it's more cost effective to let individual dealers fixing the streak than to retool their machines..... cheap fuckers.
