Squeaky juddery driver's side Window

I have notice over the past few weeks that my driver's side front window squeaks when it raises. And today I noticed it judder when it is raised or lowered.

Snap mine juddered at the bottom and squealed on it's way up and at the bottom on the way down. I wonder if it is anything to do with when my driver's door wouldn't shut properly (unless I slammed it) where the top of the glass would overlap at the top door seal and with a light push at the corner it would slip back inside the seal. Hence I am wondering if the glass is slightly distorted.

Mine too. Started about a month ago.

It must be a new Pug virus, similar to the one that infected all the manifolds a while back.
I must get round to trying the magic spray.

My both front windows do that

It helps sometimes when i put drysilicone to seals.

mine make a cracking noise as they are raisd up into the roof, then continue to crack for a bit till they settle in place...i reckon they are loos on their runners..or warped??

My passenger side window did the squeaky juddering thing for about 2 weeks one time after I had washed the car. It gradually got quieter and quieter and then stopped juddering.

I'm a bit more careful with where I throw the water on the windows now.
