Mine will do this on colder damp days. Hardly ever hear it when it's dry and sunny

My thoughts are to try lubing with some WD-40?

Anybody else out there have this problem?

Try cleaning the window seal.

Pointless illustration:



Repeat until paper towel comes out clean.

Some window motors screech as they are begining to fail....hopefuly it is just dirt as suggested, but a new window accuator might be in your future.
