98 Civic EX PWR Window BOOMS...
When I first open the passenger's window of my 1998 Honda Civic EX (standard
power window) it makes a loud "boom" sound, enough to scare me and the others in the car! The driver's side window is fine. What could cause that sound? Is it possible that the window rolls-up too tightly? Are there settings for this? If I roll the window back up and then back down again while on the same trip, it doesn't make the noise. Anybody ever heard of this? =Ron |

It could just be the top of the glass sticking in the top of the glass
run. Get yourself a small tube of Sil-Glyde (which is a grease made for rubber contact), put a small dab on a cloth wrapped around your finger, and then just run that clothed finger over the part of the glass run where the glass tucks up inside when the window is closed. Wipe a couple of times so as to leave a thin veneer of it on the rubber, and then try that and see if it cures the problem. Don't use silicone spray as it kills rubber and attracts water. Usually you get glass stickages like that in cold or frosty weather.....same as when your doors stick shut after a heavy frost. D.Mills - Licensed Automotive Technician. |
