Suffering from squeaky windows? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Mine seems to squeak a bit when it is cold outside (~50F or so). It may be condensation causing it. It usually only happens the first time I use the window that day, so I haven't had the motivation to track it down. I usually notice it when rolling the window down to swipe my key card at school.

I have it and it is horribly loud. Similar to the video posted above.

Any time there is any moisture on the glass, be it rain on the outside or condensation on the inside it rears it's ugly head.

is there a remedy for this?

I just noticed mine doing it tonight. It also rained a few hours tonight, but when I did roll them up/down it wasn't raining it was just damp.

Mine is doing the same as well

Mine squeaks as it goes down and the window rubs against the rubber seal when rolling up, pulling/messing up the rubber seal.

2 month owner, started happening a couple weeks ago. Shocked to find the poll results with 83% responding yes. I hope there's a TSB for this soon.

Mine did it for a few days (dry) when the window was really dirty with road salt. Horrible sound like the OP, but it went away after a good rain storm. OK maybe I should wash the car more often.

I'm hoping to schedule a visit to the dealer to report the problem.

Has anyone had any luck asking the dealer to remedy this?

skyre · 12-12-2012, 05:43 PM

I scheduled an appointment for Saturday to see if they can repair this. Squeeks and grinding against the rubber with the window.

Maybe the squeak is related to that 2 inch wide line I get on my side windows. Whenever I clean my windows I roll them down then back up and there is a nice streak from something under the door.

Easy fix for squeaky windows on any car.
Just squirt a small amount of powdered graphite in the slide rubbers and wipe off any excess.

Just to be clear, to me it seems like its squeaking in the center, not the sides right?
