Window rolling up/down in rain
 

i have like 2500 on mine...whenever i roll the window up or down in the rain there is a god awful scratching noise..anyone else have this issue?

Mine squeals as well - are you tinted?

nope..scared to get it tinted because of this issue.

2014 brz if it matters.

I have no idea what causes this...but it happens to all my other cars as well (Camry, Corolla, Altima). I also have it on my FRS, it happens before I tinted the car and after.

have you seen it physically scratch anything?

Mine does it too, not every time but enough to bug me. Took it to Scion, they "lubed" (AKA did nothing) the tracks and called it good. Still does it.

I have a BRZ Limited and my windows (non-tinted) do squeal a bit when i roll them down. Looks like the weather strip may be rubbing against the outside portion of the glass. I don't think it's anything to worry about, unless you've tinted your windows from the outside.

There's a clear streak (if that makes sense) that's always apparent on the glass from the outside whenever i roll up the windows. I'll take pics when I get home.

You are talking about a different issue. My passenger side window squeaks in rain, but not in dry days. My driver side window is perfectly fine. Is there a solution to this? Kind of embarrassed when my friends play with my ‘new' car and were surprised by the noise.

Im wondering same..its my drivers side. and yeah.. NEW cars shouldnt do this lol

yeah mine does the same, such a shame on a 2013 =.=

Nope. Windows aren't scratched.

same here

Could just be the difference between dry/dry versus dry/wet or wet/wet materials rubbing against each other. Like a finger on the top of a glass. Haven't really noticed it on mine though.

My last DD the driver's window would not roll up in the rain. It would roll up/down all day long on a dry day, but would not roll up on a wet day. It would only roll up two or three inches at a time, then you'd have to wait about 90 seconds and repeat. Probably a leak into the door somewhere, but never could find it.

Both of my windows squeal here and there. It's worse when it rains. I'm tinted all around and haven't seen any scratches anywhere.

Mine does the same except it usually only happens in cold/damp weather.

What's really annoying is the stripe the roller leaves in the middle of the window. At this point I'm not brave or desperate enough to open up the door panel and clean it off but it sure does foul up a nice detail job

Me too...must be a feature, like the crickets

This drives me nuts. Worse than the crickets IMO.

same here

holy sht i thought it was just my car....
should i be concerned?

Just leave the door alone... just carry a microfiber towel in the trunk and wipe it off. That's what I do. :thumbup:

I say we have enough people to make this an issue...haha whos going to the dealer?

The "official" fix is to lube it.

how and which kind of lube should we use?

Dunno but I've heard that's all they do if you take it in to be fixed. I'm just living with it. Doesn't rain too often where I'm from.

Mine does it first only on driver side last year started in july. Now my passenger side does it too. Sometimes in rain some times dry. I have two scratch marks on my driver side

The official fix is to have all the seals replaced...then it comes back a couple months later. The seals are garbage. /thread
