WINDOW screeching problem

Just as the title says. When I roll my window up or down it makes like a screeching noise. it sounds like the inside window seal don't know if it is.

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.
