window squeals like a bitch...what can I do

My drivers side window makes this horrible squealing noise every time it goes up or down. Any idea why this would happen, or what I can do about it? It sounds like a cross between fingernails on a chalkboard and a dying pig.

^^^

My car just started doing the same thing. I wonder if its the warmer weather. Anyways, when I was cleaning my car I cleaned the rubber around the window with ArmorAll and it went away.

if the noise disappears after rolling the window up and down again a few times - it's the el-cheapo rubber/plastic thingy that guides the window - a dealer just 'oils' it but there is nothing they can do. Just make sure it is not a window motor...

its been doing this for over a week now...I'll try cleaning the rubber with some 303 and hopefully it will go away.

I don't think its the motor...sounds like its coming from the seal.

my passenger window does that too... it looks like its scratching the window glass. I just press outward on it a bit and hope it goes away, but it doesn't.
