Here's an odd one.

The molding on the inside of the drivers window is catching when rolling it down.

So when its going down, the molding kind of catches on the glass and gets pulled down and folds into it, causing it to kind of screetch and groan and resist the window going down, the rubber of the molding causing too much friction.

Anyone had this before? Anyone have a clever way to fix it?

I guess somehow the felt-like texture on the inside of the molding that is supposed to let the window move freely is wearing off.

 

First thing that pops into my head would be to make sure the glass is secure to the window regulator.
Maybe it is ever so slightly loose and catching it on the way down?

 

My 96 with manual windows does the same thing and only on the front driver's side, inside scraper. I have yet to find a way to free it up other than replace it. Ebay lists it for $11 shipped.

 

Hm, I suppose replacing it is a good option :P
