2008 honda civic vti driver's window grinding noise

Hi,

Anyone else have problem with the driver's side power window. I have just bought a 2008 honda civic vti and there is a kinda loud grinding noise when the window is going up and down.

Cheers..

it may be that the runners are a bit dirty and need a clean

Oh the weird thing is that it doesnt happen after it rained or after the car been washed.

ok, now the squeaking sound only happens when the window goes down.

I had the same problem when my car is dirty. I just gave it a good clean with window cleaner spray and it disappeared.

the squeaking sound is like when you turn on the windscreen wiper if its dry, i sprayed some wd40 on the rubber part outside the window and so far the noise stopped. I will see if the noise returns tomorrow.

Just an update, so far so good. No horrible sqeauking noise when window goes down. :)

wd40 will dry out soon. If you want something that will last longer, try silicone spray. Ive done the same to my car about a year ago and the problem has not return ever since.
