    Squeaking Drivers Side Window

    Why does the drivers side window squeak on the window moulding when I
    raise and lower the window? I also have a problem with the drivers
    side window freezing shut during the winter in the morning when the
    car is still cold. Is there anything that can be done to minimize this
    problem? Thanks...

    Check recent posts in this forum for some similar posts on this
    matter.

    In my case my old '93 would do this.. it seemed directly related to
    rain and the wet months. My guess is that enough water slipped past
    the outside rubber seal (on the bottom part of the window) and washed
    away lubricant from the tracks.

    I'm not sure what is the proper lubricant for the windows tracks
    (grease, etc.) but removing the door panel is necessary to replace it.

    As far as the window freezing, I suppose water is adhering to the trim
    surfaces. Maybe you can treat them with some kind of water-repelling
    sealant for rubber. Sorry I have no better information.

    Use silicone spray to lubricate the tracks ont eh front and rear of the
    window. Also, get lithium grease and grease the cable and slide track.
    You will ahve to remove the door panel to do the job correctly.

    Before loading up the channels with silicone spray, clean out
    all the gunk first. Put some alcohol on a rag, place it on
    the tip of screwdriver, and run it up and down the side window
    channels. You'll be amazed at how much black crud comes out.
    Then spray the channel with silicone or, better yet, teflon spray.
    Afterwards, I bet your windows work as smoothly and quietly
    as when they were new. There's usually no need to do any internal
    components. The squeeking noise is usually caused by dirt and
    grit in the side channels grinding against the glass.
