Looks like the edges were not treated before the window rubbers were fitted and have slowly been festering.
Probably, take out the rubbers and windows and sort the problem out before re-fitting.

I've cleaned them up a bit & it's like gold powder & perfectly fine beneath & they open ok. I think it might be from a coupla weeks ago when I was driving in the spray from a gritter?

Mine had tint film on when I got the van, but it was hanging off & bubbly, a right mess. Put me off using more :roll:
