Drivers side window squeal

When I put down my drivers side window it squeeks, squawks, and squeels almost all the way down. I have put the windows down every day since I bought it in August and it just started squeeking today. Is there anywhere that I can lube up by removing the door panel to stop the awful screech?


(I described the sound as a squeek, squak, squeel, and screech I need to make up my mind what I want to call it )

I have had the same problem. Turns out the Seal was dirty. Cleaned it and the squeek went away!

Did you have to pop the door panel off for that? Or what all did that involve?

I have noticed that the inside of the window seal tends to pop inward and needs fishing out from time to time. That could be the cause of your squeek.

I had the same problem with mine. involves removing the door panel and lubing the two guides on either sides.

My window does it sometimes only going up. If I clean it and wipe the track or if it's raining, it won't do it. Try spraying glass cleaner on a thin rag and wiping into the track.
