anybody know what i can use on the top of my windows to make them stop squeaking. does it over rough roads mostly. still annoying. had a loaner today and it didnt do it. so i wonder if i need some kind of solvent/moisturizer for my window. 05 ls 430

I had a similar issue with my 05.. it was the door seals that was causing the squeaking. I used Mothers tire and rubber cleaner on it.. sound was gone. Worked like a charm for about 4 months.

Yes, this drove me nuts for a while too. I use 303 on the door rubber seals after washing the car and wiping down the door jams. I ONLY use 303 because it does not contain silicone. After two times of washing my car and applying 303 I only have to do it about once every 2-3 months now.

i hear the same squeak from windows too.. it's tolerable for me, but still there.. at least it doesn't rattle like my gs.. thx for the tips..

Years ago someone told me to spray a real light coating of WD40 in the track and it will stop the noise. I have done it and it works. 303 is also a great product. Just dont coat the glass just the inside of the track.

I "think" we are talking about two different places on the door. I am talking about the seal that goes around the door. The body flex of the car causes that seal to squeak at the top of the door. For that I use the 303.
I "think" you are talking about the window chanel. I have never had an issue of squeaking in that area with any Lexus I have owned, but I have had some old special interest cars that have had an issue with window chanels and the process you described was a great fix.
