Default Passenger Window making screeching noise?

When I roll the Passenger widow down I hear this awful screeching noise but I don't hear it when I put the window up. Has anyone else had this issue? Sounds like it needs some grease or the track needs to be adjusted/? But it goes up and down fine,?

I believe that is just the window scraping up against the exterior rubber moulding. Al lot of times, this is also the reason why some windows get stuck while opening/closing.

spray some silicon on the rubber all around the window, anywhere you see rubber get a good coat of silicon on it and rub it in.

I did this last week with mine. I grabbed a bottle of spray silicone at Autozone and sprayed it inside the window track and rubber trim using the tiny straw it came with. Just let it sit for a minute or so to soak in and wipe off the runs and drips. Roll the window up and down a few times and even spray while its going up and down to kind of push it in the grooves. It'll be silent and roll up/down faster when you're done.
