my passenger side front window is now making grinding noise with up or down motion, i'm not sure if i had not noticed it before since the car was either on or I had music on, has anyone else noticed this? it does what it's suppose to do but i'm not sure what to make of the noise, taking it to the dealer next week, only 4000 miles left under bumper-bumper warranty :shock:

Both my 2010 front windows make a noise like a tuant metal cable being wound on a spool, especially when the windows approach full open.

Please let us know how your dealer visit goes.

I have a similar issue on the drivers front window. Sounds like the window is creaking it's way through, not a scratching or grinding noise, just like it's being twisted in some way. Will be interesting to see how you go with your dealer!

x2, they've always done this so I am not terribly concerned.

I have a similar creaking/clicking noise with both my front windows. I'm not too worried about it though.
