What causes the squeaking sound when the windows of the new Mondeo are rolled up and down?

New Mondeo's squeaking windows when rolling up and down can be repaired at a 4S shop. Functions of opening car windows: Opening a single car window while driving can ventilate the car, especially when smoking inside. Opening one side of the car window will quickly expel the smoke from the car. It is recommended that owners do not smoke while driving, as it can easily affect normal driving operations. Opening three windows simultaneously: Three windows can be opened at the same time because this method of opening windows will cause abnormal air circulation inside the car, and the air movement has a clear directionality, so the odor inside the car will be quickly discharged. Opening the windows diagonally while driving will reduce the noise inside the car, not only with good ventilation effect but also without affecting normal driving.
I've been driving my new Mondeo for several years, and the squeaking noise when rolling the windows up and down is really annoying. This is mainly due to dust or sand particles accumulated in the tracks, causing friction and noise; aging and hardening of the rubber seals are also common causes, especially if the car is parked outdoors for a long time, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can dry out and crack the seals. I had this issue last time—wiping the tracks with a damp cloth and spraying some dedicated window lubricant made the noise much quieter. If left unattended, the window regulator gears will wear out faster, leading to more expensive repairs and safety issues—it's a real hassle when the window won't close during rain. This is a common issue with new cars, so I recommend regularly cleaning the tracks and avoiding household lubricants, as they can damage the rubber seals.
