Mine did this shortly before the cable pulley seized and the cable snapped. As Brian says above, rats nest.
Replaced with a good working one, but cleaned initially with wd40, to flush dampness from the cables, flushed with plus gas prior to hopefully clean corrosion. Then lightly greased the cables on refitting. sent from here

So i then gave the car a good wash and by repeated operations of the window until no more grease attached itself to the glass, the screech has now gone, amd the window moves smoothly and quietly. I think the process of washing the door to get rid of the grease helped shift a bit of grease to where it was needed. So for now this is fixed. I would not be surprised to have it return once the door dries out again,but silence has returned for the time being. Thanks for the tips |

Got my replacement window regulator from Mickyboy, thanks, booked into garage on Wednesday to have it fitted. Hopefully will be sorted. Anyone know how long this job should take?

New window regulator fitted today, 1.5 hours labour charge, all working fine again. When I took my car in at 8am there was a grey facelift there waiting to have new droplinks fitted, when I picked it up tonight was told that they had a Moonstone estate with uprated rear springs on a 51 plate in for MOT, apparently the owner found it had been standing in a farm yard for several years before he got it, spent a lot bringing up to spec, passed MOT with no advisories, lives in the LLanbrynmair area. 3 75's in the same garage in one day. Is this a members car?

Quite surprised to see it is almost a year since i started this thread, but today finally fitted a replacement regulator from Mickyboy. Silence returned. Could not see anything obvious wrong with my old regulator except very rusty cable. The new one is in much better shape.
Just my luck the ABS light is on now. Fails the startup check. |

Have had the same problem on 2 of my tourers. Cure in both my cases was to strip the window out of the door frame wash the lower half both sides to degrunge them,lube the cables with oil, clean the door channels,re assemble and be noise free.

I had already improved it some time ago with some lubrication and cleaning, but its only when you have it all out of the door that you can access everything. My other car made the noise just before the cable snapped, so expected this one to be on the verge of snapping, but doesnt look like it is. |

Mine's done the screech thing for years now and I've always thought it was a rubber-against-glass sort of noise. Is it the regulator instead?
I've also got the scratched glass issue. Has anyone tried T16's idea of using 3M felt window guide tape (post 17)? http://www.interwesttools.com/p-323-...0-ft-roll.aspx https://www.dhgate.com/product/black...246716106.html |

Found this interesting. I have the scratched glass and screech. I had been looking at re-surfacing the glass BUT clearly a pointless exercise until the guides cleaned / refurbished with the 3M stuff and the regulator mechanism fixed replaced.
Thanks for the info. JohnnyBG |
