window screeching noise - what could it be? first off, this forum has been an incredible source of help for me 
here's the current problem. BTW, car has 120,xxx miles, so she's getting up there
my driver window, when i roll it down, starts making a whining screeching noise that is pretty loud, starting at about 1/2 open position and all the way down. no noise on the way up. it works nice and quick, so I do not think it's a window motor. my mechanic (not the dealer) thinks it could be something rubbing inside and will take the window apart on the weekend. The noise is towards the back, and I can see 2 marks in a form of a line on the window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I should mention that i had tint on both front windows taken off about a week prior to this noise appearing (to pass inspection in NJ, tint is illegal on side windows). I called the tint guy, he said no way the tint/no tint would cause this.
I cannot believe the car has 120,xxx and how nice it's running, still extremely strong, solid and sound.
