Apparently, from the reading I've been doing, this is a very common issue with the new stangs... even to the point where the glass on untinted vehicles is getting scored.

Apparently, the outside strip is a felt-lined strip, while the interior one isn't.  So even the most minute particle gathers on the pressure points (the front-leading curve) and scratches the window.

The solution is to install a felt pad liner, like automotive moleskin.  Strong adhesive, thin felt..

apparently that does the job just dandily. 

to be honest, this car is a throwback to the old stangs in more than just looks... The build quality is a throwback as well.

Whoa, I didn't realize they had been deleting the inner felt lining on the door strip, that's just begging for problems because unless you decontaminate yourself every time you get in the car and only enter & exit the car in sealed environment and don't actually drive outside, you're gonna have dust that'll get in that channel :blink:

No, if it was a true throwback DP you'd have massive rusting issues and electrical gremlins out the wazoo... My dad can tell you some horror stories from his '67 Stang...
