Never tried this but I think its either my Bentley manual or the E30 restoration bible that recomends a heat gun on a low heat will remove all scratches and give a clear appearance, the logic is understandable, very littly melting the surface scratches etc.... I'm going to try it for sure.

I have (had) this problem too , not a sticky patch, more like a hazing even after having cleaned the window with the Porsche convertible window cleaner that I use (its the business btw) and then folding the hood. Believe it comes from the folded window rubbing on the (rough) carpet that is in the hood storage area.lukescott wrote:I get this sticky patch on my convertible window as well.

Before folding the top I now place a soft towel against the carpet so that the window rubs on that instead. Has worked for me.
