Window streak
 
Anybody else have this streak after you roll the window down or know what it is?

water mark.. once the window seals dry out, it doesn't do that anymore.

Water collects in door. Will lead to rust. Surprised no one names a big deal about it. Also squeak

From my experience in other cars, a lot of doors are designed to handle being wet inside. they generally have a weep holes in the bottom of the door for any water that does get in. That is why they glue that plastic over the inside of the door, to protect the interior door panel from the water that will eventually get inside. As far as the mark, there is usually a window brace inside the door which supports the window when it is down so it doesn't rattle back and forth. This block usually has felt or some other soft material on it to keep from scratching the glass. It will usually stay wet for a while, and smear that water on the glass when you roll it up/down. I haven't taken apart the frs doors, but my 240 has a blurry stretch in the window tint in almost exactly the same place as your picture, only on the inside.

Mine started doing that once the window seals were replaced.

Mine does that but not when wet. Mine does it when windows are dusty and I get two streaks down my window.

Mine started like that then put two massive scratches down the length of my window... :(

use goo gone to remove the streak

Never seen a car do it like this. Seems to hold the water for a good long time inside door too

it shouldn't be any sort of goo... it should just be moisture from inside the door panel...

It's typical. My previous Integra and my BRZ have the the same streak. It is from the brace covered with felt.

Thanks for all the insight everyone! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one and it wasn't a potential problem

I have long line scratches. What's wrong there?
