Hope that bug up your butt has crawled out. . .no sarcasm was noted by anyone else.

I wouldn't have that window retinted, I'd look for a good used one. Same year, probably, to try to minimize tint variations. With the door card off, the window is easy to replace, but I'd want to know what in the door scratched the window like that. And maybe while you're in there replace the regulator.

I agree with replacing with a used one.
And before I make a shameless plug for the '04 S that I'm parting out right now, I'd also point to both Woody and David, who are frequent posters here, and supporters of the community.
Oh, and im parting out an '04 S right now. ;-)

Another WAG. So that doesn't look like a scratch to me. It looks like the window tint is wrinkled/failing? And there are some small bubbles on the bottom left end? I think the grinding noise might be a separate issue from a failing regulator?

Cause might be something stuck between the door rubber and the glass? Although raising/lowering the glass would/should make a vertical line, not curved.

Try peeling the tint off first and see what shape the glass is in underneath.

X2. Does your window drop when you open the door?
