problem #1

Escape 6-cyl

The driver's window of my 2005 Ford Escape limited makes a horrible squealing sound when opening and closing. This has been occurring for about a year. When taken in for routine maintenance, I have noted this problem. I always get the same report "weather strips are dry" and were lubed. This fix does not alleviate the problem. Since the car was only a little over a year old when the problem began, I find it hard to believe that the weather strips have dried out.
