Screeching window - Mikey Jay
The driver's electric window on my aging Honda Prelude makes a sreeching or growling sound, when going down but not up. If the sun has been on it for sometime it goes quiet. Door cavities are not nice places to work. It's hard to see anything. The glass is quite scratched outside. Any help greatly appreciated.

Sounds to me as if the rubber strip along the bottom edge of the door trim is dirty. Wind window down fully and clean rubber strip with a toothbrush and detergent. Also a good coating of car polish (both inside and out) on the window will help.

Talc works equally well, as does a bit of glycerine to rejuvenate the seal(though the first few 'winds' get the glass very grubby)

Thank you both for replying. The window seal is as hard as granite and I'll try putting something on it.
Kind regards, Mike
