Default GT3 Window Question

Any body see oily streak on windows when putting it down, after you have washed car? I'm know it is probaly from a guide in door that is lubed. Has been doing it since I got car, have waited hoping it would stop with use because i really don't want Dealer to take door panels off if I can help it.

Mine does the same, but has reduced to almost none, now that I have about 1400 miles on the car. I don't want the dealer to take the door aprt neither...

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the GT3 has thinner glass than is installed in the other Porsche models, can anyone verify this?

I get it but I thought it was on the passenger side - you can tell how concerned I am I guess I'm at about 6k miles and I think it still appears sometimes.

I also get it - if you look closely in the rubber trim, you will see a tiny drain tube - I'm sure that is the culprit.

Must be unique to GT3's- mine still does it on the driver's door only at 4400 miles! Have to ask a friend with a C4S if his does it or is it just on our cars???
