How to fix squeeky window seals/rubber?

Sup guys.... I took my car to get a full detail the other day. Everything came out good but I noticed that my windows are squeeking like crazy. Everytime I open/close the doors or roll the windows down, they squeek. I was wondering what type of lubricant to use? Thanks.

I was checking it out the other day and it seems that its the inner rubber (interior side of window) is making the noise. I am just unsure on what to use. I tried 303 aerospace protectant but that didn't work. I dont know if I should use silicone lubricant as it will smear all over my windows.

I had dirt marks on my windows from the plastic seals and took a towel and slid it in the seals to clean it. I have the same squeek but just on my passenger side, seams like its lubricated with something but cant figure it out.

I think you may want to give This Product by 1Z a try. I Have not tried it yet, but I have heard some good reports about its performance with dry/squeeky rubber/seals etc.

Its worth a shot. I have used several of their products,(Leather conditioner/UV protectant/Cockpit spray), and they all seem to work excellent.....so its up to you
Good luck

yes, Gummi Pflege! just get it. it doesnt mess up/stain your paint like 3m. It smells like citrus and want asphyxiate you like the 3m stuff will. I dunno whats in it, but it works. Works well enough from my BMW dealer to ask almost $40 for that same bottle, its OE for all the BMW convertibles and their seals. I ordered it back when autopia carried it, I dont think they do any more.

Its the only thing that quieted down my squeaky sunroof seal. And has worked wonders on our pathfinders rear hatch seal.

Should be here tomorrow. Will let you know how it goes. I guess I will just apply it to the seal that rubs against the window on the inside.
