I wonder if there is some solution/lubricant that you could apply to the rubber (or even to the glass) to reduce the pressure and thus make the noise go away.

The initial dealer statement saying to roll them down only when they are clean isn't exactly a solution. ?
Typical dealer BS. Problem: "My car is broken." Dealer Solution: "Don't drive it."

Windows were meant to be rolled down, regardless if clean or dirty. I mean, we don't all wash our cars every single day.

Has anyone had issues with tinting windows and screeching noise?
As others have mentioned, I have the side windows tinted and no screeching etc. Same with others cars that were tinted.

Thanks. I'm going to an auto store tomorrow to see what I can find. It happens on the driver and passenger side of the car now. Now issues with the rear.

Last week it was the driver passenger and driver side rear.

Thanks... I'll let you know if anything works.
