Rear passenger window motor very noisy after rain

[cojaro]

So, Saturday night I forgot to roll up my rear windows. Doh! It wasn't very wet on the inside when I checked it Sunday morning, but just yesterday the motor's been making this God-awful, pitiful noise whenever I roll the window up or down. And suggestions as to what might be up with it?

Most likely moisture got somewhere it wasn't supposed to, but the noise came about suddenly. It was dead quite at one point yesterday, then, mid-afternoon, I go to roll it down and it sounds like Wall-E trying to pass a kidney stone.

Help? Suggestions? Hints? ProTips?

No real advice to give but my driver window has made a terrible noise since day 1 right after it gets rolled all the way up. It's a creaking noise maybe similar to what you're describing. Does your noise happen during the entire time the window is in travel? Honda only sells the window lift mechanism as one piece (around 250 i think), I'm getting mine replaced under warranty by the dealer. Good luck with your noise.
