For some time my front pax window screeches loudly when lowering. I've tried spraying ptfe down the sides etc. but to no avail. I would prefer not to dismasntle it to fix. Any ideas from anyone who may have had this problem?

You could try a dusting of talc on the runners.

Good thought, I'll try that.

Find your local habidashery or tailors supplies shop and ask for a piece of tailors chalk. It fits in the windows runners perfectly and made my windows silent

Thanks Lee, sounds good, I think we may have one.

Cheers

Would have suggested Sillycone spray, but as you have already tried ptfe and your going down the chalk route (cant argue with that, Im sure thatll do the trick) would certainly advise no further lubricant sprays ontop of chalk dust....remember making flour and water glue as a kid? Hmmmm..... :-/

It could always be some grit between the glass & the runner, in which case more lub won't really make much difference.

That's what worries me, as it will involve a dismantle and remantle, however, I shall try the other suggestions when its warm enough outside!

Thanks for that small note of encouragement!!!
