    My driver's side window squeeks when going up and down...from the "sleeve" by the mirror. Anyone know of a good clean fix?

    I guess everybody have this problem. My passenger side window makes embarrasing noise too when open/close. It sort of started when I wash my car too much. What I did was clean the rubber thing that the window go closed between it and it help but only for a few days. I just live with it now. still embarrasing though.

    this is from another forum:

    I had a really squeaky driver's side window too... sprayed a bit of white lithium grease in there right where the window makes contact with that black triangle thingy next to the mirror. Then I ran the window up and down a bit, wiping off any grease that showed up on the glass. It didn't stop squeaking right away, but it gradually got better and better as the grease worked it's way around in there. Now my window's squeak free!

    FOUND A $1.99 FIX!

    Graphite Lubricant (one tube). Squeeze a little in the corner of the window where it's squeeking. Rub around a little.

    Works great.

    I remembered this stuff from my boy scout days. Used to use it on the axles of the pine box derby cars we'd build. Boy Scout FTW!
