Hi all,
I should have searched better as I would've found this thread which talks briefly on the same issue we are finding in Australia.
Here in South Aust we have noticed on both BRZ's and 86's that some are experiencing an issue with windows squeaking after being wet. This can go on for days after the car gets wet. This isn't anything that has happened from day one it takes usually a few months to start to happen.
We have our first case of rust inside the drivers door near where the motor sits and the window seals are perishing so Toyota are now replacing all parts. There are a number of others with seals being replaced too.
Another common sign is two distinct lines around an inch in width which some are saying is starting to etch the glass now.
All years are affected 2012 to 2014 all models.
This has prompted me to now find out if its just localised to us or do others have the same issue? (er yes they do)
Does anyone know how widespread this is?
Does anyone know if Toyota / Scion and Subaru acknowledge there is a problem and what are they doing about it?
Below is a pic in which I have outlined 2 distinct lines which are in the same place with all models. (at the time of this pic my car had 4 days of dry weather.)
