Passenger side window squeaks when moist...

Whenever my passenger window gets the slightest bit moist or even cold it will squeak when going up or down.

What can I do you fix the problem?


Thanks

i had the same squeek and slower moving pass.side window as you guys mentioned.

one day i washed that window really good with pressure washer and was getting it ready to go to the dealer to get it fixed.
when i got there i decided to test the windows to show the dealer and weird enough the window was not squeeking or jittery AND it moved at the same speed as the driver's side.

a week later the squeek can back and i'm back to square one.

i think the main prob is that it needs to be properly cleaned and re-greased.

Silicone spray is perfect for glass/rubber/plastic. I haven't tried it yet, but I have the same problems with my passenger window since day 1.

Did you try searching for the old topic to see what was suggested? If you've forgotten the topic of your thread, you can do a search on your own username to find all your posts.

UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***
FYI, FAQ, ===FOR FUTURE SEARCHES===


Here is the FIX for a slow, or squeaky power window!!!

Silicone (best choice) or any other aerosol spray lubricant--

Put the straw attachment into the groove by the side view mirror, and spray away. The "stickyness" appears to be the front edge of the glass, and that rubber groove. The rear edge does not seem to be a problem. But it's a good idea to lube that as well.

My passenger window had been slow and sticky since DAY ONE! This fixed it. I was afraid I was going to have to take to the door apart and re-align the glass. Not any more!

I just used a little tiny bit of vasoline on the rear rubber piece the window slides against. (mine was sqeaking in the rear)

Only use a LITTLE!!!!!
never sqeaked since.

Wouldn't the silicone or vaseline streak the glass?

Make sure to use only a very very very tiny bit.

and only along the sides where the window slides (you'll never see it)

Imagine how much vasoline you could pick up by barely touching the side of the lid with a needle. That is all it takes.

Yeah, it does. But I don't mind cleaning up the excess, especially since it did fix the problem.
