Are the scratches in the same place as before or different spots? Did you replace the window stabilizers?

thank you everyone for all the help. No I did not replace the window stabalizers just the strip /guide on top of each door which was like $120 back in the day and the scratches are on the outside but I did notice one little circle rip in the tint about the size of a nail head on the inside? Any idea what these scratches on my outside glass are from? Should I change these stabalizers ?.thank you so very much guys..........just one more week and she'll be put away for winter

guys, what are the stabalizers for and does any body have a diagram of them and where they are located in the door?
