driver side windows problems

Any else have problems with their driver's side window refusing to move? Usually once I open and close the door, it cooperates, but its gotten 'stuck' several times now. At least its still under warrently (26,000 miles - 2002)

I THINK i found where that damn noise is coming from... Try cleaning the black rubber piece (inside) by the side mirror. It should remove or reduce the noise.

Is this true? You can get rid of the noise? How do you clean it? The window squeaks are so loud i'm embarrassed to close my windows in front of a lot of people.

That one inch streak is from a piece that keeps the window straight, so it needs to exhert a little pressure on the window itself. It tends to streak up anything thats on your windows, the only solution to that is to clean your windows frequently.

My squeeking problems come and go, and its not always because my windows are dirty, because anyone that knows me can tell you my windows are always squeeky clean. (haha "squeeky" clean) .............
