2. Inspect the run channel for damage.
^
If it is damaged, replace it, then recheck the noise level.
^
If the run channel is not damaged, go to step 3.
3. Remove the door panel.
4. Unbolt the glass from the regulator, then manually slide it through its travel to check for excessive resistance.
^
If the resistance is excessive, go to step 5.
^
If the resistance is not excessive, go to step 6.
5. Clean the run channel using a soapy water solution, then apply Shin-Etsu grease inside the channel. You may also need to clean the portion of the run
channel within the door.
^
If the window operates normally after cleaning and applying grease, no further action is required.
^
If the window noise symptoms are still present, go to step 6.
6. Inspect the run channel alignment, both inside and outside the door. Pay close attention just below the door skin; this is a common area for the run
channel to be pinched.
^
If the run channel is pinched, replace it and adjust as needed.
