E92 drivers side window noise

pinco000 · 01-27-2016, 04:07 PM

Hi guys, need some advice. Whenever I pull my window down or up, it will make a short noise at certain levels during the pull/push as if there was sand rubbing against the window. This issue disappears when the window is really wet or after carwash. But under normal conditions it is really annoying.
Can you please advise? Thanks

Something stuck in the rubber?

was thinking about that too...some stuck dirt. I didnt have time to inspect it properly yet but once first day off work comes...
Also Im thinking the door seal might need some lube from the stealers

Check the leading edge at the rear of the door. You'll no doubt find it scratched to hell. The E92 windows scratch really easily and the felt window strip is very tight at this point. Mine had got to the point where the felt had worn through and the plastic beneath was scratching the window. Mine looks something like this...

I have a similar issue but passenger side, interested in finding out the cause!

Agree with the post before the one above. It's shit stuck in the seal

update: went to stealers yesterday to get new battery and while there I asked them about the noise. So they sprayed the seals on the doors with some fluid. they said it will take 2-3 days to dry/settle. So it better does as it smears all over the window if I pull it down
