Ok

I have notice my HB drive door and passanger door window have 2-3 inch deep cuts where the nissan emblem is on the glass.

I have a set of spare windows. But I am trying to find out what is cutting it? How Do I fix it?

Thanks

I try to search but did not see anything close!

You'll want to completely disassemble the door - there's obviously something broken inside that is scratching the glass.

Once you find it, you can fix it and put in your new windows!

I've seen my windows become scratched like that and it was caused by small rocks becoming caught in between the rubber seal and the glass. When I took the window off, they fell out and my problem was solved. But, I guess that doesn't help if your windows are still being scratched.

YEs is that freaking little rubber "stabilizer" thingie, is like a little sponge and it gets a lot of dirt and particles stuck into it by the window going up and down, specially if you live in sandy or dusty areas. All you need is to slide that rubber piece out of there. Is easier if you take the door trim panel off.....

would this cause the windows to go up and down slower than you would normally expect? its been like this since i got the car so i dont know if its just the same thing in every car, or if my window motors are wearing out a bit.

Check for sand or something in those padded guides inside the door along the top.
