Default Windows squeak? Dealer only way to fix it?

I have been noticing my window squeak is back (the moment I put down my windows, they squeak for like half a second and then they go down quietly the rest of the way. I was told that I could have the dealer remove my door panels and fix this problem.

However I am about to get my car tinted all around, I am wondering if I should get the dealer to fix this problem FIRST so that they don't blame it on my tints.

OR if there is another solution that I can purchase myself. I was told there is some type of non film lubricant but I went to a few auto parts stores and had no luck.

Suggestions?

If you put a little baby powder on the window and roll it up and down a few times, the squeek will go away. You just have to clean up a little mess after application.

Default just now:

When they first came out, Zev *flew* to his customers to install it. You'd have to contact them to arrange an install. Yeah DVD is much better than CD. In the B5 unit though, you *could* play a music CD if you removed the data CD.

I'm sure a B6 S4 Nav unit will fit in a B6 A4 though!!

Silicone Spray in window tracks works very well.

Please don't spray silicone around a car.
