Probably no way to get rid of it. Our windows are "frameless" so those are internal window guides since it has no frame guides. I think if they changed the friction material to a different kind of urethane that should solve the problem.

Just squirt a small amount of powdered graphite in the slide rubbers and wipe off any excess.

This may work but it seems like the squeak is coming from the center (not the side guides.

Appears to be coming from the center area for me.

It rained again last night. Squeak is back in full force! Annoying as hell.

Yeah, so I'm tempted to take the door panel off, but it's not something I want to do for no reason, and that's pretty much what it is for me at this point. It's not my daily and I avoid inclement and even mild weather conditions when possible.
I'd sure love to see what's behind there.

Took my door panel off today to try to find a fix for this. Found the source of the problem but you cannot get to it without completely removing the window

There's a rubber piece that rubs/contacts the window as it goes up and down. Only way I can think of to get rid of the sound is to lube this up (which would make for no more clean window), or remove it.

There's also a fuzzy piece farther back on the door on either side of the window, there's a small section of this stuff under the rubber thing above as well...

so that's the culprit for the streaks.. hmm... maybe using a different material?

glorydays · 12-15-2012, 06:09 PM

I've really only noticed mine do that when it's really cold.

i used rain-x to make the window squeak go away, when it squeaks again it means the wax needs to be reapplied for maximum safety in the wet

Me too, only happens when it's wet.
