Default Window Open Sweaking Noise

I have noticed that during very hot days, when I roll down my windows, there is a horrible sqeaking noise. Anyone else notices it too?

Yes, clean the inside glass well and it'll go away

Default Put RainX or Amway Hard Surface Protectant on your windows and it will go away.

Default I had the same problem, cleaning windows didn't work...(m)

What I found was that the rubber strip on the door that hits the window was very dry. I rolled down the window all the way and then sprayed some windex to clean the rubber off really well. After that came the amorall which is quite oily and lubed that piece of rubber up like no bodies business. I applied the amorall a few times because the little rubber piece really seemed to soak it up. It's working fine now...so if cleaning your windows doesn't work, then give this a shot.

Scott.

Default Yup, and just had it fixed by the dealer.


My windows would squeel badly when the sun hit the car for a couple hours. Seems to be a common problem with the newer Audi's. Luckly the dealer has a fix; they clean and add talc to the bottom window wipers (Mine was covered under waranty).
It so nice now when my passegers and I don't have to cringe anymore when it hot out
