window creaks

my driver's side window creaks when I lower it and stop anywhere but all the way down. It's almost like a groaning/creaking noise. I think the felt strip is gone and only the rubber now because the rubber kinda folds with the window going down when it's dry. I'm guessing that's the cause?

Is it easy to replace the felt yourself?

thanks much

I asked my dealer why it does that (mine does it on the driver and passenger side) and they said it was nothing to worry about. I wonder though...

well, i'm pretty sure in your case as well, the felt is gone, thats why when it's dry, the rubber streaks the glass and makes the noise. i'm going to ask my SA about where i can get felt or how much they would charge to replace it...
