Hi all,

Few days ago my R50's passenger side window started to make weird sound.... just wondering if anyone has experienced the same and knows what needs to be fixed before I take my trims down.

Thank you.

Please see ----> VIDEO

You need to take the trim off and have a look I think, the window will always take more effort to raise than lower, the glass weight is quite a bit actually and that always assists the motor when lowering.
The motor and gearing is not in the most friendly environment and get condensation and rain water dripping on them throughout their life.
You could perhaps try some silicon spray on the glass edges and move the window up and down to see if the lubricant frees up the glass guides, other than that its take the motor out and have a look, it might be partially seizing as its probably been untouched from new, some new grease might help then?
