Question Window squeals

My drivers window squeals (like glass on rubber) when rolled up or down. Any products that I can apply to stop this? I've tried silicone, rainx, etc... No Luck!

Seems like the rubber has dried out. Any advice? (my windows have custom tint on inside).

Ey it occasionally happens to my front windows also, but not all the time. I have tint also, but I don't think that's the cause of it.

I also get this issue where if I push the switches on the 2 front windows at the exact same time to put the windows down (I do this everytime I get in the car), only the passenger goes down, and I have to let go and push down on the drivers again lol

I think sometimes you just have to accept the imperfections in a car lol

That would **** me off if it was all 4 of my windows. Imperfections or not it is a very annoying squeak, but luckily for me only my passnger side window makes the noise.
