Emarrasing window noise

Has anyone had a window problem when you raise them and they make a embarrassing screaching sound? Has anyone ever fixed the problem? Any advice would help.

Re: Emarrasing window noise

Either the felt has worn off on the glass stabilzer or it is too tight.Either way you have to remove the door panel to replace/adjust it.The stabilzer is at the very top of the door.Just under the plastic trim at the top.There are 2 of them.

Sometimes when they are very dirty mine will squeek just a bit, but nowhere near yours.Maybe try cleaning the inside of the window.

OK. The stabilizers are the metal pieces with felt and are about 1 1/2 right?
