Nice to know it can be fixed under warranty, but still a hassle. Hope the fix lasts. (Not the greatest quality pic, but it shows the scratches.)

I just noticed recently my window seal is now getting squished by the window when it's rolled up (at the top.) It wasn't doing this before. I was aware of it happening to these cars because my friend had it happening on his FRS. I'm assuming the felt fell off the guides like the poster above. I wonder if the weather seal issue is caused by this issue?

My weather stripping was doing the same thing and water would slowly leak in where it was being pinched. They replaced the driver side weather stripping under warranty though.

I just noticed this the other day when my windows where dirty it would leave those lines. It has not scratched the window or anything. I simply wiped it away, but now I will take a closer look. I am going to be really mad if it scratches my 3m Crystalline tint.

Mine are on the outside of the window, so it doesn't affect my tint, but if the window needs to be replaced, I'll have to get it re-tinted anyway.

Going to the dealer tomorrow to have the service manager look at it and go from there. Might as well have him do all the other TSBs with this car if it's going in.

driver side...

It's usually from small pieces of rock and such that get stuck in the weatherstripping.

I come back from the dealer and they will replace my driver windows and the guide into the door, everything under warranty of course

Outside Door Weatherstrip - Multiple Concerns

Some 2013 – 2014 model year FR-S vehicles may exhibit multiple concerns from the Outer
Weatherstrip (belt molding).
The cross section of the weatherstrip has been revised to limit the amount of water passing into
the door. If the felt attached to the window stabilizers/guides accumulate water, the vehicle may
also make noise from the stabilizers/guides during window operation. In some cases, the felt on
the stabilizers/guides may freeze to the window or detach from the plastic backing and damage
the window.
Symptoms may include:
• Noise coming from the weatherstrip during window operation, especially when wet.
• Loosening of the weatherstrip from the door.
• Inversion of the weatherstrip during window operation.
• Noise from the stabilizers/guides during window operation.
• Scratches on the glass from worn stabilizers.

This bulletin applies to vehicles produced BEFORE the Production Change Effective VIN
shown below.

Do you have the official TSB for this? I can't find this online or on the forums

1Cor10:23 · 08-05-2014, 10:49 AM

Any update from people who had the TSB performed? Lasting results?

hur1ey02 · 08-25-2014, 04:16 PM

Bump.

Has anyone had the follow up on this? I've had this issue since day 1, but haven't noticed any scratches.. I can only imagine that they are on the way. I'm getting ready to go out of warranty so I'm having my dealer address this before then. Any advice? Does anyone have a copy of the official TSB?

This is mine... dealer change it with the tsb!

jmelgar23 · 08-26-2014, 11:42 AM

I have the same problem as OP. I didn't notice until after I got tints done tho. Does anyone know if I can still get the window replaced under warranty even if I have tinted windows?
