    On my drivers side window when I roll down the window when it is all the way up it squeeks. I readjusted the weather stripping and can't get rid of the noise. It feels like the weather stripping is so tight it caused this squeak.

    No issue with the other 3 windows.

    Has anybody had this issue and remedied it? I searched the 2nd gen threads but didn't find anything specific to this.

    I guess I have to learn how to spell Squeak. Came up with a few threads

    does it squeak all the way down or just a quick little chirp?

    I did a bit of reading on this the other day. same thing, my drivers side window chirps and creaks and it was driving me nuts. The solution was just to lubricate the weather stripping so it isn't quite so grippy. I put some tire shine on a rag and wiped mine down. No more noise!

    I have this same chirp, it's been driving me nuts. I finally figured it out, it's a whistle! It only happens when I roll the window down on the highway. I was able to make the noise sustain by just barely cracking the window. I tested the passenger side window and it will do the same thing. I think the only solution for this is to get wind guards for the windows.... But who wants those?!
