As your car gets older, the rubber weather channels surrounding the inside of your window will dry out as it ages. As the drying occurs, the windows will stick to the weather channel as you raise and lower the power windows. Sometimes your windows will squeak or squeal as well. This causes extra strain on your power window motors and could wear them out earlier.
Today I'll share a quick tip with you to fix this annoyance of a slow or squeaky window. All it takes is a few minutes to correct.
If your windows are in really bad shape, you may have to do these steps 2 or more times.
Things you'll need:
- Silicon lubricant spray
- Rag
You didn't run the window up and down to show if worked.
Thank you, I hope this works, and I'm about to find out. I did as you described this morning. I had power window motors replaced twice, and that is an expense worth avoiding. I have used silicone spray before but only sprayed it on a rag and wiped around the edges of the windows and on top of the rubber flanges that keep the water out of the car. I never saturated the sides of the window well rails as you show in the video. One thing I learned immediately is that after I performed the operation as you describe, once the silicone is sprayed on the rails below, the excess dripped onto the ground through the seeping in the door wells. In my case, it landed on the concrete slab in the carport where I normally park. Thus, it might be better to perform this procedure in an area that will catch the excess that seeps through the window wells, such as on top of a dirt surface; or perhaps use drip pans. A sheet of plastic, like the kind used for painting indoors, may work as well - but it could be messy so be prepared to throw away the plastic if necessary. Due to the mess I made, I used oil absorbent to suck up the excess silicone that landed on the concrete.
Thanks for the help.
Step 1: row down windows
Great video, thanks.
thanks for that!! as well as making my windows not squeak anymore its a bonus having a minecraft character teach this wisdom!!
My car has frameless windows though and it squeaks really badly.
I am also getting a sticky tacky substance on the surface of my windows when I roll them up and down. This leaves gooey streaks and marks all over the surface of the interior of my windows. Will this solve that or should I lubricate the strips running long ways across the bottom area of the window opening?
Does rainy weather cause this squeaking?
All I got from this was the silicone taking the paint off my black interior trim from overspray. When one problem turns into 2
@ERROR 404 if you do it just make sure you wipe it off the interior trim right away
Hmm
Would be good to see how the chisel actually works
Didn’t work
Wd40 is great
Normal WD-40 is not suitable for rubber or vinyl parts.
Yea it’s great till it accumulates dirt then your worse off
Will work for few days maybe.. then it will be worse !!!USe silicone
Row down windows😂😂😂😂😂😂
