I have a '00 GS300 and the driver front window is loud, irritating mechanical sound when rolled down but not up. Same with the passenger front just not as loud. The rears are not bad at all.

My thought is that the two fronts got much more use and that is why they are the loudest.

What is the specific part required to get rid of this annoying sound when powering down the front windows?

I don't think a motor and regulator are both required or maybe there is another fix..

Any help would be appreciated..

 

nevermind....

 

could try regreasing the tracks....

 

Just went to go listen to the sound. It is definitely not a greasing the seal sound, issue. Sounds like the motor or a motor sound, only when going down. fine going up. Anyone???

 

i meant the window tracks but thats ok...might be time to replace the window motor.

 

Sounds like the motor. Anyone else with this issue?

 

I been having a similar issue on my front drivers

 

my front driver window is loud going down, but seems to go down fine knock on wood..

 

bringing this back, i have the same sound on my passenger side, its when it goes up and down.
anyone know if i just need to replace the whole motor, lube the rails??

sounds like a gulp of a drink everytime it goes down and up.

 

have you TRIED re-lubing the tracks to see if this fixes it?

 

get used to it lol

 

mine just started doing the same thing but only driver side. i got a feeling is the motor. did you solve the problem?
