Yup, just go to the dealer. they will probably try to play around with the tension, but they should order new seals.

I'm going to make a list at the top of the first page to see how many of us have the same issue.

I have the same issue, it's been around for months already though lol. I should get it checked out I guess, but I've never been to a dealership for maintenance or anything before. Do I have to schedule an appointment prior to going?

My window stuck to the seal for the first time yesterday. It made a loud, disconcerting noise.

Got mine replaced last week, fixed the problem so far.

I have this issue on the driver side and I think the only reason we are all experiencing it on the driver side is just frequency of use. I am going to try the turtle wax ICE and see if it helps out. Otherwise I have an appointment next week to visit my dealer.

"frequency of use" should have been considered during the engineering phase, it should not be an issue.

I agree 100%. Not saying it isn't a problem just commenting on people saying only the driver side is failing. Both sides will fail if they are used equally as much.

First really cold day here where I let the car sit at work. Surprisingly didn't have any issue with driver side window. Might put the turtle wax ICE on it proactively anyway...

i get some pretty good wind noise from my drivers window. gonna try and get a seal ordered.

Cheddar · 12-24-2012, 08:29 AM

I always lower both my windows when driving so I don't think it's based on use.

tintumz22 · 12-24-2012, 09:17 AM

Can anybody post the information that the dealer can see that this kind of job (changing the seal) was done?

skyre · 12-24-2012, 08:14 PM

They "re-seated" mine and it came back 3-4 days later. What would I say to the service center if I wanted this replaced?

Anybody getting condensation/moisture on the INSIDE of the driver's side window right about the middle of the top of the window? I seem to see a 4" length of moisture on the inside, about 1" below the edge of the window as if the seal isn't sealing well enough. I do NOT see this on the passenger's side window.
