laissezfaire

I've tried everything from dishwashing liquid, silicon spray and a petroleum based spray designed to stop rubber squeaks.

It's coming from the upper part of the door but I don't know if it's the window or the door frame, nor if it's the top or the A pillar.

Have you tried BMW's "gummiflege?" Not sure if they still make it...

dang

I've tried probably half a dozen types of lubricants (silicone spray, 303 rubber/vinyl dressing, motor oil, high temp brake caliper grease, other lubes, etc.) and some of them work for a day or two, but they inevitably dry out the rubber weatherstripping and the squeaks return.

I tried removing the black B-pillar covering on the exterior side and the squeaking/rubbing sound goes away, so I know it's involved. In my case, the sound is coming from the 1 inch rubber material lining the door opening (on the body of the car, to which the door makes contact with) rubbing agaist the black metal B-pillar covering. When I lube it liberally, the sound is almost eliminated, but the lube eventually dries out and the sound returns.

I think I eventually need to buy BMW gummiflege, Door Ease, or Krytox (Audi product) to lube it properly.

One thing that I'll also try using 1/4 inch vinyl tubing (link below) on the door to create a tighter seal, in hopes that there's less rubbing.

As a consulation, I know I'm making some progress. Now I just need to stop my glove box from rattling!

Let me know what works. The screeching windows sure takes away from the european luxury experience.

Yeah, they still make it. I'll try that soon and see if it works for more than a couple days.
