Default Windows screeching

When i put my passenger window up and down, it makes a screeching sound. Does anyone know why this is happening, and if there is a fix for it

Do you have tints, because mine do it and the dealer told me it was because of the tints? From the look of your avatar, it looks like you have 5% all around!

yeah i have tints, but it never happen for about 2 years, i dont see y it wud start now. Im gettin the tints off this week, so ill see if the screechin still occurs. If it does, ill go to the dealer have em fix it, and then have the tints replaced after i clear the fixit ticket.

A faulty motor. Sometimes it'll work, sometimes it wont! Have the dealer check it out!

Don't do that! The little rain guards that press against the window are there for a reason. If water gets in there it'll seap into the door and interior panel. Your speakers might get wet, and the window regulator can short out!

Stop at a Ford dealer and ask fo "Mini vent widow lube" - p/n XL-10. It's $17 a bottle, but maybe they'll just let you use some. Just a squirt down each window channel works wonders.

You're probably right, it's a small bottle, only 4oz. Probably a lifetime supply!

I'm just used to dealing with customers that bitch about paying tax on a $9.95 oil change. [:@]

Good one 04...In the time that they bitch and complain, they'd probably make the money by getting on with life!
