Windows rubbing on window seals, annoying noise

[themaestro]

My 2010 just hit 115k and I have zero interior creaks or rattles except this:
I am getting a ticking/rubbing noise coming from where the windows seal against the rubber window seals.

Its as if the texture of the tint doesn't rub smoothly against the rubber seal and creates a creak/tick. I've cleaned the glass-runs and sprayed silicone lube all along/inside the seals and that doesn't seem to help. Its the worst on the drivers window. I can tell its the seal because if I just barely crack the window the sound goes away.

Has anyone experienced this? My next step would be to get a really light grease and apply it in the window seal/glass run.

This is what we have used on our German vehicles. Works well, but I am sure there are other similar products on the market..

Get some silicon plumbers grease and apply it to the rubber. It works great.

Isn't this for brake parts?

No. It is specifically for rubber seals -- the stuff around your doors and windows.

Talking about the rubber seals to rebuild the brake piston.

Talking about the rubber seals to rebuild the brake piston.

You are right. It is mainly used for the rubber parts of brakes (piston seals, caps, etc) but can also be used for other rubber components.
