Default Windows sound harsh rolling up and down

Hello everyone. I just had my front passenger window replaced due to an attempted break in, and I noticed now that my window sounds very harsh rolling up and down versus my other three windows. The window goes up and down at the same speed as the other windows that wasn't touched, but now its just not as quiet as the others; which to me now is more of an annoying sound. Can anyone help me find a solution to this issue? Thank you!

Take it back to the person that did the repair.

You can try cleaning out the tracks your self with a rag and light water. Just place it in the wedge of the rubber track and slide the rag through it making sure its clean.

Thanks for the reply, and I was wondering would shin-etsu grease, or 3m silicone lubricant wet type do the trick also, because the place where I got the repair done is extremely far away from house. Thanks

Go for it, but I think that may only be a temporary fix.

Take off the door panel yourself its not that difficult

Take it back to the installer and see what they say before you start messing around in there.
