Camry :: 2004 Driver Side Power Window Makes A Pop When Leaving The Seal
I have a 2004 camry with 107k miles. The power drivers window makes a pop when leaving the seal. I have cleaned out the track, lubricated with silicone spray, but this did not solve the problem.
When I put a little pressure on the top of the window with my hand it comes down fine without popping.
I am thinking it may be a track issue. It appears the window is shifting 1/4-1/2 " to the front just before it contacts the seal.
Bmw :: Can't Remove Water Spot Residue On Windows?
I have noted on my new car that the windows are covered with water spot residues that I can not remove. I washed the car by hand and the deposits remain. I prefer not to return to the dealership for this matter.

My wife's 03 wagon has developed this weird problem. I keep the car pretty clean, always clean the inside windows a couple of times a month. We always defrost with the A/C on, no recirc.
We had the car in the body shop for some front end damage. Ever since then the front and side windows seem to have this oily residue on them. The stuff will not come off. Tried Invisible Glass, my usual cleaner. Really awful to see at night.
If the heater core was leaking under the carpet, could this cause it? or if the sunroof drains were clogged? I also changed the cabin filter with an aftermarket one from a vortex vendor.
Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 - Window Seals Are Melting
The window seals (black rubber at the bottom of each window) on my '07 Prius are melting. They're leaving melted black "goo" on my windows when I roll them down and back up. One of them actually deteriorated all the way and fell off. Granted, I live in AZ and it's been hotter than a Texas whore's crotch on dollar night, but I've lived here all my life and I've never seen anything like this. I'll post a photo when I get a minute. (by the way - my profile says '08 but my ex-snagged that and I've got an '07 now).
View 8 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Window Seals Becoming Tough With Passage Of Time?
So, now that it's cooler out sometimes, a quirk has resurfaced, one that bugged me semi-consistently last winter.
Seems that when the mercury drops, both windows in my R start making creaky, squooshy, rattly noises... but only when they're closed all the way. Forgot about this over spring/summer. If I open them a tiny bit, they're quiet. My guess/assumption/theory is that the rubbery stuff against which the top of the glass seals (when the windows are all the way closed) has lost its flexibility over the years and sorta holds the edge of the glass in place less firmly than it's supposed to. OR it's just brittle or something and that noise is the edge of the glass rubbing on it instead of sinking into it a little. And then I get that creaky/squooshy/rattly sound. It's not all that loud, but hey on one side it's right next to my ear after all.
Wondering if:
-- this theory of mine makes sense
-- replace those pieces in the door there, for whatever reason, how hard it is to do that, and where they got replacement pieces to begin with
Searching on a few things netted me nothing on this subject.

I am bringing in my V6 2005 Camry XLE in for a pulley recall and have reached 90,000 miles. The dealer told me I should also have the timing belt, water pump and engine seals replaced since they are all under the same engine side cover. I am considering the timing belt, but do I need to replace the oil seals and water pump?

View 8 RepliesCamry :: 2002 - After Leaving Home Engine Just Died After About Half Mile Of Drive
2002 Camry XLE. 134,000 miles. 1MX-FE 6cyl.
The timing belt was replaced by the Toyota Dealer in Sept 2011 at 101000 miles.
Yesterday after leaving home the engine just died about 1/2 mile from home. No warning, just died.
I tried to start it, the engine will turn over but won't start. It spins freely but doesn't sound like there is any compression.
The coolant reservoir was empty. I checked the fluids a week or so ago and it was full.
So:
1. Does this sound like a timing belt failure?
2. Is it possible that the water pump went out and trashed the timing belt?
3. Or, could the timing belt just be bad?
4. I've read that this engine is a non-inteferrence engine, is that true?

View 10 RepliesAccent LC (2000-05) :: Power Windows Failure - Window Stuck In Down Position
In May the driver's side window mechanism (motor + "window regulator" are the primary parts) self destructed on my 2002 Hyundai Accent and left the window stuck in the down position. Since the car only has 35,000 miles on it, and since I live in a cold climate and didn't lower the windows much, I concluded it was a manufacturing failure.
So rather than spend about $700 to have the mechanism redone, I elected for 1/10 as much money to have a body shop remove the mechanism and wedge up the window in the up position permanently with blocks and screws. Since I was told by a couple of mechanics that this type of failure occurs in other vehicles, I was still sticking by Hyundai and planning to buy another one 3-5 years from now.
But I have been forced to change my plans. Today (in September) the passenger side window mechanism self destructed and, once again, left the window stuck in the down position! Naturally, I am going to have the same solution applied to the passenger side window now. As a result of this (and an unbelievable brake problem that I don't have time to get into) I have been forced to change my mind and can no longer support Hyundai.
Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Driver Master Window Control Would Not Activate Passenger Windows
I am a newbie Gx470 owner. I just finished a timing belt job on my 2005 Gx470 with 127K on the clock. After the work, the driver's master window control would not activate any window but the drivers. On a recent outing my wife activated the passenger' window. I suddenly regained control of that window from the drivers position. You guessed it, when I ran the rear windows up and down, I regained control of them also.

View 2 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Radio / Windows / Moonroof And Sliding Rear Window Are Dead
I was using a fluke to test voltage at the connector for the driver visor mirror light when I accidentally crossed leads and heard a pop. Now my Radio, windows, moonroof and sliding rear window are dead. I have checked the 30 amp service (601 fuse), the delay acc fuse (42), delay acc relay, and of course the power windows and radio fuses. None of which are bad and none of which seem to have any power. Is there another relay I should be checking? I have read about the battery saver relay in the instrument cluster but have not ruled it out yet. My dome lights, instrument lights all work. The truck also has a Viper remote start.

I've been told by friends driving behind me that every time I accelerate I emit a plume of black smoke followed by a stream of black colored "water". I checked today by having the wife rev the engine to 4.5k...sure enough, black water shoots out of my exhaust, probably 3 oz. I also see a black puff of smoke which I assume is more normal than the water. Is this commonplace ?
