    My 2016 rear window creaks/squeaks pulling in/out of my driveway. Is there any way to grease the rear window? Thanks

    My front window has a slight squeak or click when rolled down about an inch. It only happens over bumps. When I push on it it stopped making the noise. I’ve wanted to take it in but figure they won’t do jack shit.

    Have you thought about taking some dry silicone spray to the weatherstripping?

    Vaseline on seals normally works. Sounds weird but I believe it's the petroleum in it that works to help rehab the seals. I've used it successfully on an old mini firdge when it wasn't sealing correctly.

    Sounds like that would work but his seals are still practically brand new. What do you put the Vaseline on, let it sit and soak in and then wipe it off so it’s not all greasy?

    I had a side window that would squeak both up and down. There was something on the glass ( sticky but hard to see), and when the window moved it would grab the seal and not allow it to glide smoothly. Good cleaning of the glass cleared mine up.

    Damn. I’ve got the exact same thing. Only when it’s down about an inch. Thought same thing about taking it to the dealer.
