Hi all Think I've got the correct unit number  was going to ask this question a while ago but forgot. Went on the same unit again today so thought I would ask. On S Stock 21046 it appears that on nearly all of the door windows there is some sort of marks on them as if something has been pulled off them leaving the remaining glue. I was just wondering what it is as I've only seen it on this unit and its only on the windows in the doors. It has been like it for ages now and has not been removed. Any ideas as to what it is?

Safety film applied to glazing probably... Councils started to apply it to glazed areas in schools in the mid 90s. It does beg the question, surely S Stock glazing would be safety glass in the first place, so why might it be needed... or perhaps are they applying it as a belt & braces policy  |

It's to reduce the effect of scratching.
