Default squeaky window seals

Am noticing some "squeaks" noise on the driver's and one rear area. Think it's the rubber window seals. Stealer showed me a can of "dry lubricant" spray---and told me to buy a can at Auto Zone or where ever. Could only find Silicone spray. Are they thge same thing? What is the recommended "lube" for this situation--please?

Tks Dave---2002 S8

Default Don't use silicone spray.

You will never be able to clean the glass and it goes into the paint. Silicone is good stuff, but only if you buy it in bottle. Put some on a rag and apply it carefully. I don't think it will work, because you need something between the glass and the rubber. But it is perfect for the door seal rubbers, they will open much easier in winter.
