window makes an annoying sound when rolling

my window sounds like its a dying whale when i roll it up and down. i took the door panel off and sprayed some silicon spray on everything i could see but it still makes it ad its driving me crazy. is there something else i need to do to get the noise to stop?

Re: window makes an annoying sound when rolling

You can try to adjust the window,or put some white grease on the track.Not sure if the sweeps are dryed out and that's what's making the noise.

Just a few things to try and check.

Yeah, Ide say some white grease. They sell it in a spray can, and it works wonders on squeaks, and such.
