My 07 Window Squeaks

[pradeep_g]

Hello TN Members,

Whenever I roll down the right passenger rear window, it squeaks. While its rolling down. It's very noticeable. When its rolling down or up it squeaks in fact. Does anybody know what the problem is or have they had this problem?

I ran a search on the forums using the keywords 07+window+noise.

Put a little graphite in the tracks.

Just let the dealership take a look at them.

Don't bother with the dealership - they're stupid and incompetent. Besides, they just follow instructions instead of really finding the source of the problem.

Both front windows squeak from time to time. On both sides of the glass, there is a lining. Part of the lining on the inside sometimes turns inside-out. In other words, that lining no longer points upward, but instead folds down into the door.

So I use a PLASTIC taping knife to bring the lining back up. And that stops the squeaking instantly.

Use this (except make sure it's plastic):

That's a good tip. I'll try to remember that when this happens to me.

that tool works well when youre trying to break into your friend's car to play a cruel joke on him too.

Sorry, would you mind explaining this a little more? Not really sure what the tracks is. Can I find graphite at Wal-Mart or Home Depot?

Thanks for your help in advance.
Thank you for your help also Yazovets.

If the dealership is open on Saturday, I will go to get it checked if the window remains under the same condition.

In order to get a good price on this car, I went about an hour and a half away from where I live.

I live in Sugar Land, TX - The Dealership (Gullo Toyota) is in Conroe.

It's difficult to make time to go out there.

There are no other dealers closer to you?

Right!?!, you can take it to any Toyota dealership. You do not have to have it serviced at the same dealer you bought from.

I'm amazed at how many consumers don't know this. I imagine some dealers perpetuate the myth.

This happened to me, my rear passenger window pulled the wiper inside the door. I was able to get it right side out. However, my regulator, and window motor had to be change, along with the ruber/felt wipe. Just one of my visits to the Toyo shop to get warranty work done.....

[pradeep_g]

Whoa, so I can take it to any Toyota dealership and say I have a warranty?

There's a Sterling McCall Toyota very close to my house but I will never go there. Their view on customer satisfaction is just as bad as the transmission on a ford aerostar.

Any dealership in the US must honor original factory warranty. You dont need to tell them you have a warranty. Every single New vehicle of any make and model has a factory bumper to bumper warranty of at least 3 years/ 36,000 miles.
