It could be an issue with the rubber seal or the window lift motor. It is recommended to have the new car inspected at the dealership. Below is some relevant information about car windows: 1. Introduction: The car window (car-window) is an essential part of the entire vehicle body, designed to meet the needs of interior lighting, ventilation, and visibility for drivers and passengers. 2. Window Names: Depending on the installation position of the glass, car windows include: front and rear windshields, side windows, and door windows. The design, structure, and quality of the windows significantly impact the driver's visibility, passenger comfort, exterior aesthetics, and aerodynamic characteristics.

Having driven Mercedes-Benz cars for many years, I've experienced the squeaky noise when rolling windows up and down, which sounds like sandpaper rubbing against glass. The most common issue is excessive dust or small stones accumulated in the tracks, as window gaps easily collect dirt during daily driving. Over time, the rubber seals can also age and crack, losing elasticity and causing friction noises. I've personally tried cleaning the window tracks: after wiping them clean with a soft brush and cloth, spraying some dedicated window lubricant solved the problem. However, if the noise comes from inside the door, it might indicate worn-out window lift motors or loose track brackets. In such cases, DIY repairs carry risks, and it's better to have professionals remove the door panel to inspect the components. Remember, never ignore strange noises – prolonged neglect may lead to stuck window regulators that can't close the window, risking water leakage during rain. As a car owner, having technicians check the window system during regular maintenance ensures both peace of mind and safety.

Can Rearview Mirrors Be Repainted?

Rearview mirrors can be repainted. Carefully inspect the damaged area; if the damage exceeds one-third of the component, an over-repair method should be used for restoration. Waxing: Waxing is divided into direct waxing and polishing waxing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car body and applying wax directly to the clear coat on the surface of the paint. Polishing waxing, on the other hand, requires using a polishing machine to polish the paint surface before applying wax. This method can instantly make the car look shiny. Glazing: Due to the composition of the glaze, it is not resistant to acid and alkali cleaning and can be easily damaged. It typically lasts only 1-3 months, and glazing can harm the car paint, requiring reapplication every two to three months. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for the care of key areas such as the car's paint surface, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, and tires. It comes in quick-drying and slow-drying types, mainly determined by the primary ingredients. Film Application: Car coating is a highly protective measure that can brighten the paint surface while also providing multiple effects such as resistance to acids and alkalis, high temperature resistance, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, and UV protection.
