    Okay so...when I put down my driver side front window it screams and squeals the whole way down. I haven't seen anything on this issue here on the forms. Any help before I take my door apart?

    I've clean the openings and their aren't and visible marks on my window...help me.

    Mine do this when they're super dirty - once I clean them it goes away. It also could be from heat 'cause i haven't noticed it recently since the weather has gotten a lot cooler

    This... I tend to get sap/something else on the windows and if I go too long without washing I get the same noises. Goes away when clean.

    My driver's side window just started doing this. I noticed that the outside window felt is curling and going down with the window and causing the squeal. It is getting really annoying.

    Normal...happens when hot and dry. I used to just spray the rubber seals w/ rubber protectants w/ my past vehicles. I do have the issue with my truck but only occasionally since my truck is primarily parked inside a garage.
