Squeaky Windows

I’ve had the car for a year now and recently the windows started squeaking at the top of the range. I guess i can rub lube onto the rubber seals but this is a +50k car and I don’t want to add that to my routine maintenance list lol. Are there any suggestions short of doing that to remedy the situation?

A nice silicone spray or Teflon powder should solve your issues , provided the squeak is just the glass rubbing against the rubber

Two things.

Gummi Pflege.

And clean the glass where it contacts the rubber and clean the rubber.

Use a good glass cleaner on the glass.

For the rubber I just wipe it down with a damp towel.

For clarity's sake I should state the glass gets cleaned and the rubber gets wiped down then with the rubber dry you can apply some Gummi Pflege. Maybe.

While I clean the glass when it gets dirty and wipe down the rubber almost every time I wash my cars I only apply Gummi Pflege maybe 2 times a year. Not so much to address noise -- the glass cleaning pretty much takes care of that -- but to help preserve the rubber weather seals. Not only the area that touches glass but all of them, around the doors, trunk lid, etc.
