Squeaky windows? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Not sure if I'd put a petroleum product on rubber. How about some silicone spray? Windows on my daughter's Beetle squeaked horribly. This seemed to help a little.

I have had tremendous luck with using RainX on the outside AND inside of the glass.

Clean your glass very well prior.The outside needs a repeat after a couple of months.

My rubber seals don't drag and squeak and my 15 year old window motors are stressed less.

So it's just the weather stripping that squeaking? I thought it was something actuator related.

The Boxa.net fix states using a straw on the spray can to go past the rubbers and then past another seal underneath them. The wd40 does not go on the rubbers but past them and onto the internal mechanism. That is if you still get squeaking after cleaning the windows and lubricating the rubbers with silicon spray and anything else you can think of.
