Hi guys

Both front door windows on my MY2010 FL2 are squeaky as hell when closing. Much more of a screech when raising the windows that when lowering. Sounds like something is scraping against the glsss more than a squeak.

Tried silicone sprays, and no luck. The most logical theory is that the felt on these door strips have worn out and now the rubber/plastic is rubbing directly against the glass?

So my question is, what is the exact part I need to replace here? Searching online I see the rubber seal that runs along the door frame (bottom of the window frame) is different to the other seal that cover the top and sides of the window frame.

So I guess what I’m asking is whether anyone know what the part number (name) is for this part, and weather anyone has replaced this and managed to get rid of said screaching?

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the link

Try lowering the window fully down then with a damp rag, wrapped round your finger clean out the seals, watch how much grit and filth comes off them and the window will move a lot easier a quieter.

IIRC they are easy to remove - a single screw inside the door - but its all in the JLR workshop manual anyway


Mine are green with mold and leave the windows streaky, despite washing the inner contact faces with a toothbrush dipped in Milton soln.
So I am going to take mine out, and have a go at cleaning them - before changing them for new ones, as new ones are very expensive. Jules

Could be worse. When driving on corrugated roads in outback Australia. If you have the window open a bit to get all the flies out of the car, then you have to close the window due to on coming traffic which creates about a minute & a few hundred metres of zero visibility.

When you press the button to close the window/s, due to the corrugated road, the window fully open!






Luckily here the wind was in our favour, & there was wind. When there is no wind the dust sits in the air forever. You can be 5km behind another car & the dust is still too much.

As my car lives partly under trees I suffer from Green Slime and Moss growing in all the 'out of sight' places.

I would be very pleased if someone can come up a long term solution.

I use a 69p denture brush from Home Bargains it’s very tough bristles and does a really good job.

I use a bleach solution, spray it on with a spray bottle, let it sit for a while then jetwash - works for me & I've never had anything bad from the bleach! 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Manual Dynamic
