Or you can just spray some WD-40 on the part where the window meets the door. I did that and no problems since.

just a suggeston but never spray wd-40 on your rubber seals again. it'll dry out the rubber. it will lube it up good though. you should use a silicone based product instead. they sell a silicone lubricant spray at the hardware or auto store. i believe wd-40 is petroleum based. just a FYI.

yep...i agree. just spray the rubber tracks with a silicone lube. wd-40 will dry and the screech will eventually come back. don't waste your time taking it to the dealer.

I hope this helps

Mine started screeching after i got my windows tinted and i posted on the org and followed the advise to WD-40 it. Well that didnt really help much so i took it to my dealer and they checked it out and ordered a part for it and put in a new one. and i havent had the problem since. This occured on both my front windows.

i want to get my hands on this tsb.

i've also brought my car to the dealer for the window. it got stuck in the up position and took some force by me to get it unstuck. they just lubed the window with the silicone lube. it also helps speed the window up a bit.
