Window squeaks when rolling down. How hard to change trim?

DMan · Mon, Feb-07-2011, 04:07:48 AM

I tried to search but couldn't find any DIY w/ pictures on how to replace the trim. I can tell it is the lower trim (driver side) because once the window starts dropping into door it starts to squeak. I've lubricated it (used olive oil on one site's recommendation) but it wears out pretty quick. TIA.

I had same problem with front driver side window squeaking real bad when I rolled it down. I used Wurth's rubber care gel stick(rubber seal treatment) available at BAvarian autosport and it worked excellent. I did this about 2 years ago and have not had a squeal since.

At first you do with the wurth's but after a while it goes away. Just keep cleaning the window for about a week or so.

Cool thanks. I will see if I can get my hands on some (or something similar).
