Squeaky Window when Winding Down

[matt8]

Hi all

I've noticed it for a while, but have only thought to post today about it.

When my driver window winds down, it has a rather loud squeaky noise. It only occurs if it has been raining / if the glass has been wet.

Is there a seal problem somewhere? Is the rubber / felt seal at the bottom of the glass failing?

Still under warranty, so may ask dealer to take a look. Problem is, throwing water on it doesn't seem to replicate the matter.

Your thoughts appreciated

Try wiping the seals with some silicone lubricant.

Thanks Martin. I'll give that a go!

Don't use too much mind and be careful where you put it or you'll get a smear on the glass every time you put the window back up.

That is a concern. Where should I put it? Any tips? Thanks, Rich!

Matt, 

Did you ever resolve the window squeak? 

I have it too, just like you described, driver side, wet conditions. 2013 with over 100K on my clock so thinking its age related. Tried silicone spray to no avail. Cheers.

Hi Sheamus

I mentioned to the dealer who cleaned the tracks and silicon sprayed it for me when it was in for other work. It helped a good amount, still some squeak on occasions albeit less.
