I wish there was a cheaper way to get rid of my scratches too.

The stabilizers are just small plastic parts, with fur on on side and a tiny metal backplate on the other. The fur touches the window and it clogged with dust/mud with time due to the insufficient sealing of the scraper seal. This will cause squeak/minor scratches. In extreme cases the fur can be iced to the window and thus the metal part will be exposed making serious damage. They are cheap, however, if they are not damaged yet, they can be washed and waxed and no more squeak can be heard.

To be honest, I have no idea, even the new seals are barely touch the window compared to the seals of the others cars we have. Even if the seal is fully pushed to the window, it allows water to pass trough. Would it be possible to take a picture on how the scraper seal touches the window when the door is closed (especially at the end of the windows)? It may provide a solution for me.
