How do you stop window squeeks

[Kibokojoe]

When ever I slide the windows up or down the window squeeks on the rubber. Is there a way of stopping the squeeks? I also see this problem when it get really hot on the sunroof. Talcum powder perhaps?

Silicone spray lubricant has always worked for me. I avoid getting it all over the glass, paint and other surfaces as it leaves a film which is slippery and may cause discoloration.

How do you keep it off the glass? Do you not have to spray the seals that the windows runs up and down in?

Yes you are right - it does get on the glass on the opening windows and I have never noticed a problem with it. However I try not to get it on other areas unnecessarily. Like the windscreen for example - maybe the wipers would not work effectively on a surface made slick with silicone spray lube.

Seem to work fine with a ton of rain-x.

This is the best stuff for rubber and vinyl and will make your seals last waaay longer...

Run the windows all the way down...get a rag and soak a small area with 303, fold and pinch it slightly then then rub it along on both sides of the seals. Use it on all your door seals, sunroof seal, trunk seal etc....your sun roof most likely needs some lubrication along the tracks.

All the seals on my 12 year old 525i are like factory new.....

Where do you pick up 303?

I use a carpenters pencil on the groove in the rubber. The "lead" of the pencil is actually graphite......

A carpenters pencil is almost oval with a very thick graphite section. Using a 0.5mm propelling pencil would give the same effect, just take much longer!
