Squeaky drivers wundow

Featured Replies

Hi

Could as anyone help to cure a squeak it's driving me nuts.as far as I can see it's the window not the mechanism although I haven't taken the door card off yet.i squirted lots of silicone spray ( although the can is old ) around the window rubber etc but is still there. If it rains heavy the window goes up and down quietly so suggests to me it's the rubber not the mechanism. I've watched YouTube on how to take off the door card looks not entirely straightforward but I'll give it a go if that what it takes 

Thanks

I'd have thought the silicone spray would do the trick, might be worth taking the weather strip off the door at the bottom of the window so you can get better access with the spray.

If it is the Rubber then treat the rubber with rubber treatment or replace it. 

Gummi Pflege, 

or there are other treatments. 

Liqui Moly Rubber Care, etc

 

Mine has always squeaked.  I like it; when I hear it, it reminds me the motor still works.

I have recently acquired this problem.

I watched as a ladybird landed on my side of the driver side window. I wound the glass down to remove it but it remained on the glass and disappeared into the door. I then wound the glass up again but the glass now squeaked but no sign of the ladybird.

It still squeaks in dry weather but not after rain. My guess is that the ladybird is stuck on the glass or mechanism lower down and the carapase (hard covers over the wings) are causing the squeaking where they touch the moving glass. I hope within a few weeks the ladybird will be no more.

I am also looking for a long thin strip of hard plastic that I can slide into the gap beside the glass to wiggle around to free this and any other obstruction.

Hi

Ok yes I never thought of doing that.maybe something is trapped between the glass .I'll try and get a thin bit of plastic to slide down between the glass and rubber

Thanks

Thankyou everyone for your help.Think I might see if there are other rubber treatments to use and also remove the weather strip off too

Thanks again 

Both of my front windows squeak, but only when it's really warm.

Ah maybe it's just the heat that does it but it's very annoying
