Window installation can be a daunting task for even the most experienced do-it-yourselfer, but it’s not impossible. In this article, we’ll show you how to fix a squeaky car window using a few simple techniques.
What Causes a Squeaky Window?
A squeaky window is usually caused by one of two things: a loose weatherstripping or a poorly fitting window.
To fix a squeaky window, first check to see if the weatherstripping is properly installed. If it’s not, then you may need to remove and replace the weatherstripping.
If the window is properly fitted, then you may need to lubricate the hinges or locks. Be sure to use a light lubricant, as heavy lubricants can damage the window.
