Can’t to Lake Arrowhead and all of a sudden front driver and rear passenger window started making weird noises when they are coming down. Anybody encounter this? Is it the elevation?

I have the same sound! Started a couple of weeks ago,. A low moan, felt as much as heard. It's on more than one window. Unfortunately, it's intermittent. Maybe temperature-dependent? My guess is that it has to do with the window rubbing the seal as it moves (only in the down direction for me).

Mine is the rear driver’s side window. Sounds like a fog horn!

Yes. Mine is also only when coming down. The sound has mysteriously disappeared for the time being.

I noticed this on a loaner from the SC when I watched the window going down I saw the interior rubber window seal moving down with the window and getting stuck. Don’t know if this is a defect on some seals or all will eventually do this with use. My own vehicle hasn’t started yet, but I’ve also not used the windows all that much.
