Default Streaking on door windows

I've got a question, my truck is a 00 Sierra and ever since I've had it (about 2 years) both door windows have had vertical streaks on them. They're not like normal 'cleaning' streaks and are very noticeable but I can't get them to come off or even know what caused them. I'm wanting to get my windows tinted but not until I get the streaks off. Any ideas? Thanks!!

dirt can get caught in the belt moldings and cause fine scratches that look like streaks. there vertical streaks right?

I have them too, on the outside (not in the tint). I think mine is from dirt being in the window molding.

Maybe wet sanding them??
