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.

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

I would second all of the above... ;)

I have a new Lincoln and had the same problem. Took it into Ford under warranty and they told me to get lost cause it's dirt under the rubber edge and hence, not their problem. They said they see it all the time. Nice of Ford to correct that obvious flaw in its cars.
