Hi Guy's
I have a A205 cabriolet where the drop glasses squeak when closing.
I have tried clean both the glass & seals, but thus far the noise has not stopped.
Any suggestions?
 
Try treating the rubbers with Gummi Pflege, if that doesn't help the squeak may well be from the window lift mechanism which would require the door card being removed to gain access to the pivots and slides.
 
Try lubricating the rubber seals with gummi pflege after cleaning with soapy water.

edit - beaten to it while looking up how to spell pflege
 
Thanks for advise guys.
I will give Krytox a go, as I have some available to me.
When the weather permits I will re clean all the seals & apply some Krytox to them. Then see what happens.
 
I had exactly the same problem with my previous SLC. I wiped WD40 inside the rubber where the noise was coming from (the front corner) and the noise went away.... for a few weeks. I never bothered to use any other method, just refreshing the WD40 as needed.

The latest SLC hasn't started making the noise yet... :)
