A PO had fitted (and removed) a high end sound system and I found the membrane had been replaced by sound deadening!

Well I thought it was easy until today when I replaced the door lock.

The regulator was done December 2015, the membranes on each door replaced February 2016.

Funnily enough, I used some recently to get some packaging glue off my daughter's posh make-up brushes she got for Xmas.
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.

Good dose of wd40 round the cable mechanism cured it on both.
So, I've had a search, no definitive answer.
When I wind the windows down/up, they creak, squeak and squeal. Bad for my karma. Seems to be worse some in some conditions than others.
Anyone had a similar prob and found a cause and solution?
Sounds like the felt bit off the inside of the outer seals has worn off. New seals are mega expensive. Polishing the glass with normal car polish/wax or T-cutting cures it for a while.
Is it worse in summer? Replacing the window regulator seems to do the trick for most people when lubrication attempts fail. Since my passenger window squeaks in summer (but not in other seasons) a window reg replacement is on the list.

If it's a case of needing to buy a new part, I always give the fubar'd one a dowse in the stuff. Bit like ramming a few hundred volts through someone's heart when they're pulling their last breath.
You've nothing to lose and 80% of the time it works. :wink:
My passenger window makes a noise for the first few inches of travel. The regulator was done December 2015, the membranes on each door replaced February 2016.
Can it be it is on the way out again already? How much of a ballache is it to remove the door card and spray some WD40 love juices in there?!
Well I thought it was easy until today when I replaced the door lock. A PO had fitted (and removed) a high end sound system and I found the membrane had been replaced by sound deadening! Now I know why the door card carpet gets wet, another job to do.
Seriously though, getting the door card off is easy, the hardest part was the airbag badge.

You don't have to remove the doorcard. Just put window in its lowest position and look down the gap with a torch. Once you suss out where to spray you .......juice, just fit the little applicator tube on, point in the right direction and spray. Any excess can be cleaned off the glass later with IPA.
Ever since summer when I put down my window in traffic and the guy sitting next to me in the old vauxhall shouted over
"you might need some WD40 on that!!"
After some investigation into this; I understand there are adjustment screws at the bottom of the door and beneath the door card that allow various adjustments to be made...
My thinking was that if i could ease the pressure off on the seal then the squeaking could be 'reduced or controlled'.... this would be my first port of call....
So far I have found these links; (worth a read).

I also order some
SONAX GummiPflege
which seems to be product of choice to cure window squeeks..
I will be tackling this soon, let me know how you get on, and I will update with my findings....
all the best.... Z
