Squeaky window

[BliarOut]

Hi,

the window in my 99 996 cab squeaks in operation when it gets hot. Pushing on the window in any direction whilst raising or lowering it doesn't alter the sound, nor does lubricating the rubbers that are accessible with the door card still in place. It operates perfectly but the squeak is starting to annoy me. Are there any common causes of this? My Boxster used to do it as well, just not so loud.

There is a TSB for the rear side windows that replaces the seal - but you didn't say which window.

It's the drivers side (RHD) front window.

Just to add, the squeaking is sort of cyclic in sound. I had heard cables could be the cause of this but I'm not sure if they can be lubed or are a likely cause of the noise?

Just want to get a feel for what I should be looking for as it looks like I'll have to have the door card off to track it anyway.

Could be something on the window is causing the rubber pieces to squeak or could be a window regulator going bad.

I had the exactly the same thing on my 996. A few days later the window got stuck and all sorts of grinding noise and no more window...a new regulator was fitted last week and no more squeek!
