Squeaking Windows Problem
When I roll my windows down, the window rubber on the outside that goes agains the window folds over and down into the window track. It makes an annoying squeaking sound. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have a similar problem with my CL, whenever i roll down my window it "hesitates" in a way. It doesnt roll down gently like it should. it will go down but shakes along the way. Any ideas?

sometimes it rattles and shakes, sometimes it doesnt. But it always squeaks...
I'd also appreciate any ideas to help, as the dealership didn't really do much...

Ya I have tinted windows, but the squeaking didn't start then. It actually started after the dealership removed my passenger door panel to fix the door lock actuator. But now both doors make the squeaking sound, so I'm not too sure.
I don't see how tinted could do it. I'm pretty sure mine squeaks because the rubber that rubs on the outside of the windows sticks to the windows and folds in and down into the door panel. Then it stays folded inside until I put the window back up. ???

My windows don't squeak but my drivers side window does rattle. Its like the glass is hitting something metal. It has been getting worse over the last 6 months. It only happens when I drive over the lane bumps on a freeway or sharp bumps on the streets. Anyone else had this problem? I figured I would just take it to the dealer when I had my alignment done and have them take a look at it.

I have never heard of silicon spray? When you "rubber channels that guide the window", do you mean the rubber that is touching the window if you look at it from the outside? What would this spray do? Where can I buy some (any hardware store??)

oh Thanks...I didn't even realize what you meant by silicon spray. I know what WD-40 is. I'll try that...Come to think of it, what would be the easiest way to spray the channels and to get the whole thing?

No, I am refering to the guide channels on the sides of the window frame that guide the glass up & down. The spray would provide lubrication. One can buy it at any hardware store. WD-40 is a popular name brand, but any silicone spray will do.
