SQUEAKY windows

[corkyd]

- i've replaced motors, and had the shop lubricate the regulators.. and the windows STILL squeak and squall when they go up (front ones- both).. not so bad when it has been raining. so I tried lubing the rubber seals on teh door.. nope.. the last two times I tried spraying anything into the tracks, my door locks went nuts and ran down the battery.. so.. spraying anything liquid into the doors is not high on my list. I know that there are some adjustments for the windows to track properly- might this be the issue? The original owner complained of wind noise and the dealership 'fixed it'... acording to the maintenance records that I have..

any ideas?

There is a good possibility that it is the rubber seal on the door itself that presses on the outside of the window.

Take a piece of WAX PAPER... not plastic wrap... the good ole Cut Rite Wax Paper.

With the window "UP", slide it down between the rubber seal and the window glass.

Now, lower the window and see if the noise goes away or at least is less.

If it is LESS... put another peice on the INSIDE (leaving the piece on the outside) and try it again.

If this helps, you can take the corner of a wash cloth and put some silicone spray or 303 rubber seal treatment and wipe the seals down REAL GOOD. It may (or may not) rejuvenate them for a while.

If you use drive thru car washes... There is also the possibility that WAX from the car wash has built up on the glass itself causing it to squeal when going up or down.

I am not sure of a sure fire way to clean the wax off of the glass.

I will let someone else chime in on that.
