Default Side window saga goes on...

My side window 1 inch drop/lift is fixed. The whole door handle mechanism was exchanged. It was the micro switch but the dealer only changes the whole door handle mechanism.

However window has now also developed a squeak (noise) as I lower it and raise it – unrelated to the micro switch problem. Dealer says window guides need to be changed. I asked if they can’t simply be lubricated? They said no, as the window then smears.

Anyone had this and has successfully lubricated the window guides.

Window seals I recon. If I try whilst the door is opened there is no noise. Once door is shut noise occurs. Loudest just before window shuts or start opening.

On the bottom of the door there are 4 rubber plugs
take them out you will see 2 10mm nuts loosen them and move them toward the inside of the car about a q/4 inch and see if your noise is still ther
