08 A3 Creakey Drivers Window

[TFSI]

OK i may have missed this somewhere on the forum but the only issue i have with my motor is when fully up the window creaks and groans ! Drop it slightly noise gone, coated the top of the glass with silicon spray but it still creaks !!

Please give me an answer it spoils a good car and the dealer would possibly make it worse or deny theres a problem or dismantle the car into a million bits to find it.

I'd like to know aswell. Only thing that bugs me about the car!

Had mine in to the dealers last week and all they did was grease it or something. Either way it hasn't sorted it!

Common A3 fault, sorry, feature. Yea, the dealers love slapping silcone stuff all over your doors and windows. Marvellous idea, just hide the symptoms. Remember someone applying a wax crayon (black of course) to the fuzzy felt bit in the window frame...

I'll see if i can find the thread for you to now

dealers actually managed to stop mine from creaking , which was a big suprise, applied sum grease or something! didn`t particularly want them going anywhere near it but had to bite the bullet as it was sounding like i was back in my mk2 golf!!
