...without searching, I'll assume the window guides are likely shot. Does anyone second that? Better fire up the garage heater this weekend. :/

Default 3rd, or spray pure silicon spray on the weather stripping....The previous owner had the guides on

mine replaced - i thought they were not done and i took it to criswell...they called me and said they have been done just spray silicon spray on the weather stripping and run the window up and down multiple times...I was skeptical that this would work but it did...

Default DAAMN! All that to change the one part?

I had to do a window regulator on my wife's BMW, but that just involved taking the door panel off and drilling out the rivets. What exactly is that blue piece?

Default Whoops, I replied to your 12-2004 post. :P I sprayed the bottom seal after work...

...it helped a little, but got my window smudgy more than anything. :P I'll clean the window and spray the side one tomorrow. Thanks!
