Streaks down windows after rolling them down

Does anyone else have 2 lines down each window after you roll them down? My guess is where the dealer sticker was the residue must have got stuck down inside. After I clean my windows once I roll them down and up I get 2 parrellel streaks. Anyone else have this and know the best way to get rid of it?

They're coming from the rollers inside the door that power the window up and down. I haven't seen any leftovers on either side, nor do they show up when the window is dry, so I'm not really worried at this point.

I have them as well. Haven't bothered to worry about it as they aren't visible all the time.

Look up scratched windows on Subaru forums. If I were to guess these windows will develop the same problem with time.

Since they're frameless windows there are guide pads that..... guide them into place as they go up and down. With time those pads will get dirt and gunk on them which will eventual put scratches on the windows.

Every frameless window Subaru does it.

When I wash my car I try to avoid rolling the windows up or down until I know it's completely dry in the door. Or else the water from the guide pads will get the window wet again. They're made out of an absorbent cloth like material.

It just depends on the quality of the seal on the windows rubber seal. I don't have any streaking like that on my Forester and my car gets real dirty before I wash it.

Yes, I have it too. Mine also unfortunately squeals as it's going down/up and on both sides of the car. I'm going to the dealer and ask them if they can do anything about it.
