Default Windows squeeks when rolling up.

My windows squeeks sometimes when rolling up as if the rubber is getting hard. Is there a maintenance item for this? Thanks.

Is it comming from the window in the rubber channel? Had that problem on another car and sprayed some silicon spray in the channel and rolled the window up and down a few times...stopped the squeeking

If its the rubber, most likely it's dirty. I had the same problem. Just clean it up using some kind of rubber cleaner found at the detailing section of most automotive part store. If its coming from the inside of the door, then you'll probably need to regrease the gears.
