DIAGNOSIS

1. Lower the affected door glass two-thirds of the way down.
2. Slip a piece of paper or thin cardboard between the glass and the inner door panel weatherstrip.
3. While holding the paper in place, move the glass up and down.
   • If the squeak is gone, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE.

• If the squeak is still there, remove the door panel and continue with normal diagnosis for run channel or regulator noise.
• If caused by the inner weatherstrip, the squeak may go away after repeated operation of the door glass but return after several days.
• Do not replace the regulator or the run channel unless the squeak is still there when the glass is moved up and down with the inner door panel removed.
