Window squeak

fatkid · Mar 8, 2018

Here's the deal. I have a 2016 CC 4X4 LT and the passenger side front window squeaks something fierce when I roll it up or down. I've sprayed the seal with silicone a couple of times. Tonight, I got a little more ambitious and curious. And what I've found is the squeak is coming from inside the door panel. It looks like a piece of styrofoam or something inside the door, placed there for safety I assume, is rubbing the glass and it making the noise. I didn't want to remove the seal that is glued/siliconed to the door from off until I got some feedback. I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks

Pull the door panel and check it out. You should be able to remove the foam without any negative repercussions

You can glue or tape moisture barrier on. If you touch the styrofoam with a rag dipped in acetone right where it's rubbing, it will melt it out of the way, it doesn't take much acetone to do it, so don't melt it into a mess all over everything

And don't get it on anything, paint, door panels, carpet etc

Or take it to the dealer since it's under warranty. Those door panel clips are easy to break

So the dealer tech can snap your door panel clips for you and not bother to tell you....

Yes but then you have a record of them breaking it and they will pay for a new panel vs the owner doing it. They also have all the panel puller tools and know where the clips are.

You pay for a B2b warranty, use it.

I know I know.....was just being goofy. I would certainly have them address any issues if I were under warranty. But I would also watch them like a hawk.

agreed. I use the crap out of mine. Its the reason you buy new! If they wouldn't turn out garbage these days and have some quality control it wouldn't be an issue.
