Window Problems

Hey all,

Haven't been able to find a thing on this, but my 1993 5.0 LX Hatchback has
a passenger window that screeches when it's warm and being closed. This
screech is killer on the ears and before I go tearing the door apart I
thought I'd ask if anyone else has run into this.

This is a power window and usually when it's warm (>75F) it just kills my
ears and you have to feel real sorry for anyone sitting in the passenger
seat.

I've tried pushing out, pulling in, pushing down and pulling up as the
window powers it's way up, but it seems to make no difference.

Any ideas, hunches or websites that anyone knows about that could lead me
through the path of pulling this door apart? I presume this is a metal on
metal problem, but again, just looking for ideas ~before~ I get into it.

Thanks in advance!

yes, I'm having this same problem right now with my 89 GT. I haven't
had a chance to look into it yet. But, mine goes away if I push/pull on
the window while its closing. Would love to know what you find out.

Hi

I'm not sure what the door/windows are like on a 93 but a spray of
silicone lubricant usually clears screeching windows. Try a spray on
any vetical rubber seals that the window might run along.

meant "vertical rubber seals".

Mine doesn't screech but is slow, the regulator gets sloppy and the
glass rubs against the rubber weather strip.

From what I've seen you doing in nana.sightings this
month, I really must question your conclusions. Of
the roughly 4079 reports you posted to nana.sightings,
my favorite will remain your LART of the mail you
received from Cron, running on your own computer. - David Ritz

Check the dew wipe along the top edge of the door... grit can get caught in
this and can cause your symptoms...
