If the window is making a screeching/grinding noise when it goes up and down, try this. On the underside of the door there are 4 rubber access plugs for the window mechanism. Take them out and you will see 2 plastic pulleys. Squirt oil onto the bearing/bushing of the pulley and actuate window and repeat.

If it works, you fixed the window in less than 15 minutes.
