i would start by pulling the door panel to see what the hell it is! clean that first cause if you clean your window its just going to get back on it when you roll it down!

it's probably on something INSIDE the door. No use cleaning the window until you figure out what's in there.

a razor wont scratch your window if you run it along flat. how do you think shops take off your safety inspection sticker each year?

use a single edge razor blade, and get a water bottle, put a few drops of soap ion the water bottle and fill it with water. If you spray that on the window it will help the razor blade slide and take the gunk off faster. Then take off your door panel to make sure nothing on the inside of the door will continue to cause this.

looks like someone just ripped the tint off the windows and left the gunk. try gas or rubbing alcohol or goo gone to take it off just DO NOT get any on ur paint it will ruin paint and clear coat.

Chances are you spilled something on the door and it ran down to the window to the tracks... There should be felt on the tracks... You will have to take out the tracks and clean them and possible replace the felt... Or it could possibly be grease from the window motor is the seal failed...

virgineg6 is right. that is what happens when the felt stuff on the inside window weather stripping comes off. order a new one (i assume that is an EK you have so this is an EK part number 72335-S03-003)
Take the old one off and put the new one on. but first clean that crap off. If you don't get that stuff off it will just make the new weather stripping deteriorate quicker.
Mine did this and i just had to sit there with my finger nail and slowly scrape that crap off. i also hit it with goo gone or window cleaner depending on what i had at hand. Maybe try WD40 on it and see if that help. It was a long, tedious process but i managed to get it off the glass eventually. Just make sure when you see any streaks of this stuff happen on the other window you change the weather stripping asap or you will have to do this all over again.

What's on my window? Sounds like a road trip game when you're really bored. No, the razor won't scratch up his glass, but his TINT will be F*¢+#D. Take the door panel off and clean it the right way.

i had this problem and it was some type of glue to hold something up inside the door panel so i had to scrap it off and when i would roll my window down and back up, problem solved
