Smears onthe inside

Whenever I clean the car and put the windows up and down I get a long smear on the inside of the glass.

This is on an E92. Its really annoying, is this normal does it happen to anyone else????

Wipe the top edge of your window and the seal around the opening when you dry your car.

I get an up and down line on the inside of the glass and I assumed it's particular pressure on that part of the glass as it goes up and down from the mechanism/seals/etc. 'cos it's always in the same place.

I'll try more specific drying of the door seals next time I wash it.

It's a product they put on the seals to stop them squeeking. After a while of cleaning the inside of the window it stops becoming as apparent - had it on both my e93 and the current e92 - it was put on by the bucket load on the e93 by the stealer to stop the squeeking and the e93 had it straight from the factory....

I got this sorted under warranty, not sure of the fix, all they would say is they cleaned something. Doesnt look like they have removed the door cards.
