Methods to address noise when rolling up and down car windows: 1. First, clean the car window thoroughly, lower it to the bottom and then raise it to the top, repeating this several times; 2. Spray some lubricant in the window gap or replace the outer window seal; 3. It is recommended to visit a repair shop to fix or replace the window lift assembly. The car window is an essential part of the vehicle body, serving purposes such as interior lighting, ventilation, and providing visibility for the driver and passengers. Its structure is typically a curved, sealed design, with rubber sealing strips connecting the window frame and the glass. Depending on their installation positions, car windows include the front and rear windshields, side windows, and door windows.

I know all too well about the rattling noise when rolling car windows up and down. Common causes include dust or sand particles in the tracks, hardened aging rubber seals, or lack of lubrication in the window regulator. When encountering this issue, first clean the window gaps and tracks with alcohol-soaked cotton swabs. If the noise persists, apply some window-specific lubricant spray. For hardened rubber seals, using rubber protectant wipes works exceptionally well. Pay special attention to checking if the regulator bracket screws are loose - if the cables are already squeaking from wear, you'll have to visit a repair shop for replacement parts. Try to avoid parking in dusty areas regularly, and periodic cleaning of window channels can prevent this problem.
