What Causes the Squeaking Sound When the Car Window Rolls Up to the Top?
1 Answers
When the car window rolls up to the top and makes a squeaking sound, it may be due to friction between the window limiter or the rubber seal and the glass. Generally, if the car's rubber seal is left outside for a long time, it can easily soften due to prolonged exposure to sunlight. In severe cases, it may even deform or shift, which can prevent the window glass from rolling up and down smoothly or widen the gap between the glass and the rubber seal. This can cause the glass to wobble slightly on bumpy roads, accompanied by unusual noises. Below are some methods for maintaining car window glass: 1. Proper Use of Windshield Washer Fluid: There are many types of windshield washer fluids available on the market, but they mainly fall into three categories: summer-use windshield washer fluid, winter antifreeze windshield washer fluid, and special-effect antifreeze windshield washer fluid. Summer-use windshield washer fluid is primarily used to remove insect residue from the windshield, while winter antifreeze windshield washer fluid ensures that car components are not damaged when temperatures drop below -20°C. 2. Car Window Tinting: A thin layer of heat-insulating film can make a big difference, not only blocking the harsh sun but also providing heat insulation and UV protection. Car heat-insulating films are divided into front and rear windshield films and side window films. Dark heat-insulating films should never be used on the front windshield. Additionally, when choosing a heat-insulating film, the higher the UV protection index, the better, as it can protect the dashboard components from premature aging caused by prolonged sun exposure. 3. Purchasing Glass Insurance for Your Car: Glass breakage insurance is a type of commercial insurance where the insurance company compensates for the loss of the insured vehicle's glass (windshield or side windows) if it breaks independently during use. Independent glass breakage refers to situations where only the windshield or side windows of the insured vehicle are damaged.
