Electric Windows

[LittleMissVE]

I just tried to use the search function, but 2 pages in couldn't find what I was looking for.. So please don't jump down my throat if this has already been asked 485125 times before!

The last week or so, my drivers side window has been squeaking when I press it up or down...

Any clues on why it's all of a sudden doing this? Is there something simple I can do to fix it, or do I need to take it in to get fixed?

Thanks guys

squeaking cause of the rubbers or motor

squeaking cause of the rubbers or motor

Is that a question or a statement?

[vicarious]

question?, if its the rubbers can coat them with dry glide

[LittleMissVE]

How can I tell the difference... If the cause is the motor or rubber?

[vicarious]

if its the rubbers you will hear it when the glass is up past the bottom of the window frame, most likely caused by grit as well as rubber drying out.

[LittleMissVE]

I think it's the rubbers... It only does it for the top half of the window (If that makes sense.. or bottom half, however you look at it).

hit it with something like this Selleys Ezy Glide - Lubricants

Nothing like a good lube on some rubber

Could also be the glass clinging to the rubbers (as opposed to there being anything wrong with the rubbers) - try wiping the glass over with some IPA ONLY IF THEY'RE NOT TINTED (apologies for caps lock, but can't be too careful) to remove any deposits left from some glass cleaners or other build up from forearms, hands, faces, feet (depending on how you use your car). Otherwise try some Vuplex on the tint. Great stuff. Car Care Products / Speciality Brands / Exterior / Exterior Trim & Plastic / VuPlex Plastic Cleaner & Polish

This may sound stupid, but where do I get it & how do I put it on?

The windows are tinted... Just wipe it over inside & out?

And foot prints on the window? Lol. Maybe the back windows, but not the drivers side mate lol.

If you're talking about the vuplex, it's only for plastic and tint - so not the outside, just the inside. Easy to use. Just follow the directions on the pack.
