mine does to plus my passenger side always comes up sideways and i have to pull the top ofit back in order for it to go up all the way. i havent looked into trying to fix it yet though

 

mine does it on the passenger side. I hear it is the felt gone from one of the guides. haven't checked into it though.

 

Mike it sounds like your problem might be the window guide bushings inside the door. My windows squeal, usually when going down. From what I've seen and read it is either the dew wipe along the base of the glass or window guides that are inside the door and have felt on them that eventually wears away to reveal a rubber substance that rubs on the windows. I'm going to take my doors apart probably next month to replace the power lock actuators and I'm going to look at fixing this squealing problem too, especially since I plan on getting my windows tinted.

Mine squeals when you roll it up. I think it is the dew wipe. You can get new ones at 50resto.com. Not sure how much. I think they are riveted on. You have to remove the trim piece on the outside at the bottom of the window to get to it.

 

sounds like a friggin pain. Strange my 91 does it bad, but my 87 (with more miles) never did.

 

I had the same problem with my power windows. There is a metal rod that the windows slide up an down on. I greased the rod with some wheel bearing grease, problem solved.

 

been there, greased that. Didn't work.

 

anyone know where to get the replacement felt part for the window by the door locks?? thanks

50resto.com????

 

The culprit is actually the window guide. It is a small rubber piece that bolts in toward the rear of the window and when new it is covered by a felt type material. Over time, this material wears off and exposes the rubber underneath resulting in the squeak. The best way to fix the problem is to replace the guide. The interim solution is using graphite lube on the piece (used for locks and such). It makes half the mess of WD 40 on your windows and stays put as long it's on the inside. You'll have to take off the door panel to get to it, but at that point you might as well replace the guide.

Edit: Sorry I was writing when the post above was made. My guess is that 5.0 resto does not have it.

 

if I can move my window side to side so that it sort of lifts up when you push the side of it, any idea what id need to take a look at to fix it? I need to take the panel off anyways to replace the broken handle so I may as well fix it when im in there.
