Re: Scratched Window
 

I got a window kit a while ago and scratched it while putting that blasted lock sttrip in. Is there a way to buff out the scratch? I am going to get a tool to do it from now on but this just sucks.

Re: Scratched Window
 

look at radioshack or some shop of that sort. there´s some stuff used for polishing scratches out of handy displays. i think its even named scratch remover. shouldn´t bee too pricy and used with a towel theres no chance wrecking the plastic any further like as if you were using water-sandpaper or stuff like that ;)

Re: Scratched Window
 

be careful if you get something to gritty your going to scratch the window even worse. Might just be easier to stop by your local hardware store and get a piece of plexiglass!!!

Re: Scratched Window
 

;D Kewl thanks guys. I figure if it's gona be messed up anyway I will just try to buff the scrathes and if that don't work I will get a new one. Stupid locking strip pisses me off. If anyone knows the name of the tool to get those lil bastards in there that would be great. Thanks!

Re: Scratched Window
 

I heard if you use water it helps it slide in and the water evaporates after it lubricates the rubber.

Re: Scratched Window
 

PCMods.com sells some polish... and if for the locking strip... this might be funny but KY Liquid or a sexual lubracant could work well.. :P LOL i'm serious

Re: Scratched Window
 

damn wish I would have thought to use water as a lub on mine. Was a pain to get in. Dunno about the KY ... guess it would clean up ok ?!?!?!??!

Re: Scratched Window
 

Whoa!! Put the KY down and step away from my window!!!!

Re: Scratched Window
 

LOL!!! WHy step away from the window? :P

Re: Scratched Window
 

Xdigitalx, you worry me!

Re: Scratched Window
 

No seriously  ;D why do you have to step away? and KY Liquid worx. Hey if it worx for lub for plesure why not with a window/ ... i put this stuff on the floor u'd slip! ;D

Re: Scratched Window
 

Kick ass! I wish I would have tought of that. This damn thing took me forever to get in. I almost took off my hand a couple of times. I have a spare but I prefer to keep the two of them. KY jelly, hmm. I think my ex might have some of that. Thanks guys thats a big help.

Re: Scratched Window
 

LOL, whats more important? Your sexual plesure or ur computer?
I'd chose the computer, so use that ky!


(JK)  ;D

Re: Scratched Window
 

Hmmm ok X, now I'm worried ... (/me thinks should I keep him or throw him off the VW team! hmmm)

Re: Scratched Window
 

I see two possible problems with KY:
-Residue after it evaporates.  I'm not sure what KY is based from (oil?  petrolium?  other?), but I think it would be likely to leave a residue, or not evaporate at all.

-Reaction with strip.  Again, I'm not sure what KY is based on, but I know that certain oils, or something, can have corrosive effects on some rubbers.  That's why the recommend not to use like, baby oil with condoms, or something like that.

Anyway, I haven't experimented with case windows and KY to prove either of my possible problems, and maybe someone here has, but I'm just bringing up my thoughts.

Re: Scratched Window
 

Ok XDiGiTaLX here's your chance to stand up and prove your theory. Install a case window with KY (leave out waht you do after your covered in KY  ;D) and let us know how things go.

Re: Scratched Window
 

Ur a bad boy. Ur making me look bad :'( U know my dremel lit on fire! And i have no dough for a window, unless u can donate a window:). I know that KY LIQUID (Yes Liquid) is water based! :) and if it evaporates just wipe it off with water!

Re: Scratched Window
 

Ok I am back guys. That whole windows XP thing kicked my ass. I'm back to the trusty old 98 again. GUI was nice but none of my hardware worked. It just SUCKED!

Re: Scratched Window
 

Thats good... Not to be mean but what does this have to do with a window and KY Liquid :)
