Gritty sound when putting window up
The driver's side window on my 8 makes a gritty sound like sand is inside the door or the fit is off when it gets about 3/4 of the way closed. Opening the window is fine. The passenger window sounds fine. I'm worried that over time this will scratch the window. Anybody else experience this?

FWIW, the 8 I test drove last night made the exact same noise, so it's either common (lube drying out?) or something common to early build models.
As a comparison, the one I test drove sounded almost like the sticker was attached to the driver's window rather than the passenger window; once it got about 1/3 up it made a light scratching sound the rest of the way up...

i just noticed that when fully down the passenger window is slightly higher than the drivers side. you can barely see the top of the window when its fully down but on the drivers side its below the black window channel. no biggie but just something i noticed.

By the way, since you are local, I saw my first 8 on the road today on 676...A good looking blond, great looking black 8..Made the traffic a little more bearable
