Loud window squeaks when rolling down...
I’m getting a loud squeak when I roll down the drivers side window. The sound is reminiscent of fingernails on a chalkboard. Makes me cringe. It doesn’t happen all the time, but on select days – I guess it depends on the humidity or other weather conditions. Anyone know how to address this problem and/or any quick fixes?
Thanks so much.
Thanks so much.

That sounds like a good idea. I suppose i should determine if the squeak noise is coming from the window's pressure against the inside weather strip or the outside first though.

Yes, what i meant was the sound was coming from the friction from the window and weather striping, not fromt he motor itself. I will try the Zymol wax method. Thanks for the advice guys.

If you have a grinding noise it may be your window regulator that's going. Waxing window should help squeeling but I just use a little vinyl/rubber protectant like 303 on the outside piece of trim seems to work for months.

Mine did that after I Rejex'ed the windows. Not at all dissing Rejex, anyone will tell you I love this product. But it causes my windows to screetch when winding. After I cleaned them down with fairy liquid then viniger they dont sqieak any more.
