To do that you would need to remove the door panels and clean all the crap off the fluffy pads. Maybe annually would be adequate. My windows make all kinds of noise when they go up and down but I haven't had a chance to pull the panels off and try cleaning them. Maybe that will be my project for the weekend.
I had the TSB done and I am 100% scratch free after 4 years and 120K miles. Even my tint is pristine.
Since I smoke in the car the windows are up and down way more often than "normal".


Washing the car on a regular basis would prevent the crap from building up on the pads in the first place.
