Q: Front window on '06Fozzy

[Animal25RS]

Front driver side window on '06Fozzy: Makes a loud screeching noise (sometimes), as I'm rolling it up. This problem also occurred on my '97OBS an sometimes on my '02RS. What could it be? The channel and molding are free of dirt...so I'm am confused at this point, help please!

I would say the alignment felts are worn out or are dirty

I will look into that.

spritz some silicone spray into the window channels with a nozzle

also look on the center of window surface to see if the window guides have scratched the glass, which means they need to be cleaned as well

Yup there are 2 pads on the outside of the glass at the top of the door and i think one on the inside. had to do mine on my 2006 Impreza drivers side. they ain't cheap $17 each last summer.  felt falls off. just put the window all the way down. and with a flashlight you can see them just under the weather stripping.
