Squeaky Window

[jnicks01]

Temps here are now dipping into the 20's and 30's. About 3 days ago my drivers side window makes this horrible squeaking noise when I roll it up and down. More when going up. It sounds like it is the glass rubbing against the weather strips and not a motor (I hope). Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix? I keep the truck spotless for the most part, so could the rubber strips just be dried out due to the washing it in the cold? Sounds minor, but it drives me absolutely crazy.

I just started experiencing the same problem with my driver's window as well. 07 LTZ with 19k miles. Assuming it doesn't get worse I plan to have dealer look at next service visit.

I'm having the same problem on my 07 Z71, It doesn't happen all the time,
but it is very annoying when it does.

Same Problem 08 Denali

WOW.. I'm glad I'm not crazy..

Took mine to the dealer and they told me it's the tinted windows.

I've had tinted windows on every car I've owned since I was 16 and never experienced this.

I've been debating taking the tint off and taking my car back in...

I've owned my truck for 2 years, but I'm at 40k miles. Do you think it's still covered?

lmao i also have this problem, it just happens at times though mostly when rolling up the window(passenger side though)

 

[ibobby]

I have tint on all windows and it only happens on the driver's door. If it was the "tint" You would think it would happen on the others as well. FYI, I roll the front passenger window up & down about just as much as I do the drivers door.

I do notice that it does not squeak when the window is wet or damp(raining, rained or whet from washing).

yea the same prob with mine, my sis and my bro's truck i have a 07 tahoe, they have suburbans it must be a defect with the car cuz i have tint and my sis doesnt...

It has nothing at all to do with the tint. It happens sometimes to the '07 Tahoe I use at work....no tints!
I have tints on my Yukon and have not had that problem......yet.

 

[RIZZ]

it must be an issue with 07s!

actually, your GM tech should of seen there is a bulletin from GM about this issue.

It's covered under warranty, it's coming from the window regulator. You have to use GM superlube and lube up the window run channels. I like to lube up the weatherstrip where the window slides up and down also.

I like these, they pay good even under warranty.

If it keeps happening, just have them put a new window regulator in it. Make up a story saying at times it doesn't work going up and down and binds. Done-new window regulator with new engineer update.
