[MR2] A squeaky window

[William Brandt]

I thought all this time it was the felt guides at the top that were 
wearing - but once I had the door panel off it seemed the noise was more 
towards the bottom - I ran my fingers inside the "track" on both "frames" 
(for lack of a better term) and they were bone dry...Put a "glob" of white 
lithium grease in the tracks - wiped the excess outside the track off with a 
paper towel - ran the window up and down a couple of times and voila - quiet 
as can be!

I would use the can of white lithium grease - I think the spray wouldn't 
last as long...

Good info, and a good reminder.  My passenger side window (and driver
side, to a lesser extent) has been awfully loud lately too.  Looks like
another Saturday morning project to add to the list.

Well, I might as well tell you guys of a solution today. Since I have
had this power window that makes some of the worst noises when cold (and
for a couple of years!) I decided to pull the door panel today. Man does
Toyota make that job easy.

Anyway I could tell once the door panel was off that it was the 2 tracks
of the regulator that were as dry as a bone - I had a little can of
white lithium grease - put some in the grooves on the bottom - let the
window go up and down a couple of times - and it is as quiet as can be
now...
