I thought it was the felt on the inner and outer window sweeps but they appear to be in good condition.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 99 996 and my window squeaks while rolling up and down. The window functions properly but makes a squeaking noise that sounds like the window scrapping against rubber. Any suggestions on the squeak? I thought it was the felt on the inner and outer window sweeps but they appear to be in good condition. Does anybody know if there are wheels inside that need replacing or do I need to replace window regulator. Thank you.

POST 2Original post

Our 99 986 windows just started to squeal as they go up or down. But not every time. At first it was one of our warmer Canadian summer days but later did not duplicate. We are the third owner and the car has always been stored indoors. Any suggestions before I open up the doors? We went on our 1st Porsche run on the weekend and had a great time! Ron Jackson
