Alright.
My two front windows have been making these creaking sound as they roll up into the rubber runner untop. As it makes the creaking noise (while its all the way up), you can see the window try to push itself further up into the rubber runners. Playing with the regulator bolts can help decrease or increase the noise.

First, I had the dealership replace the window regulators. It worked fine, but after two weeks, the noise came back again.

just yesterday, I tore apart my door and re-torqued and lubricated (silicone spray) every bolt. This helped reduced the noise a bit, but is still there and very strong.

After the window moves up into the rubber runner and makes its creaking noise, I can still press up and it will still attempt to push further into the rubber.
If I press and hold up for at least 3 or 4 seconds, the window will seat itself in the rubber runner (and make the creaking sound) and any attempt to press up again after will result in just that normal confirmation "click"

Here are video clips from this morning

First is my malfuctioning Front Window

Second is my perfectly fine rear Window

For the front window clip, There are five actions
1)I use "Auto Down"
2)I use "Auto Up"
3)I tap up again(window seems to try and push further into the rubber runner)
4)I hold up for about 3 seconds
5)Pressing up after the "press and hold" procedure

Here are the links to the videos

I noticed that during rain, the creaking noise stops (is it a lubrication issue?)

any suggestions?


should i take it a step further and re-install and re-lube the entire window assembly?

Man i have the same exact problem with my front passenger window... My driver window makes a weird squeaking nioise might i add...Was wondering if your windows are tinted because i started noticing these sounds after i did my tints...Im thinking of going back to the shop that did my tints

 

yea, my windows are tinted-dealer tints-

 

you think maybe the film might be rubbing against something causing the problem? Cuz i do find it extremly annoying too...i dunno if i should take it to dealer or the tint shop

 

well, my rear windows are fine and they have the same film

also, my front drivers side window went before the passenger

however, the front windows are a different design sooo....

ask the tint shop what they think.
was it both windows?
did it start immediatly after the tint?
(mine did not)

 

sometimes those guys that are doing the tints push down really hard and it messes with the regulator. .02

 

Sounds to me like the window motor is trying to push the window further than it should go therefore you hear the motor gears stripping across each other.

 

yea i'm def going to ask the tint shop what happened... The thing is i originally got 50% in the front and 20% on 3 back then i decided to change to 35% on the 2 front cuz 50 was way to light and didn't do squat against uv protection... so i noticed after a week or so after the new tint i started getting the squeaking noises on my driver window and the same creaking noise when it closes like the one you have...when i have some spare time i will def go to the shop and see whats good.... ill let you know what happens

 

you think that sounds like gears stripping? if thats so, and with the frequency i use my windows, the gear should be smooth by now!!!

anyways, would you think the only solution would be a motor replacement?

i cant take that inside panel off the door to look at the motor action without removing the regulator...i dont know how else to determain the problem except guess and test

 

wat kind of rims are they??? and do u have the nismo kit and the front lip??

 

I have a creaking noise. But mine is more than likely a seating issue. I fear complaining to dealers. Because they may say its due to the tinting .

Your noise sounds horrible.

 

+1........needs to be regulated.
C.

 

+2



Lip.

There is no Nismo kit for the 05's.

 

is there a front lip like that for the nismo kit??

 

ok...

i guess i will go back to the dealership and ask to have my window motor replaced.

last time, only the regulator was replaced, and that only worked for a few days
