Squeeqing wet window

[Tigris]

My windows are fine when dry but when its wet the windows make this horrible noise while moving up or down.

Any idea how do I sort it?

Mild soapy water does the trick, its often dirt stuck on the rubber or tree sap causing the squeak.

Thanks but I have already cleaned the space between the glass and the rubber (see my other post). I think its related to the actual rubber getting wet.

Maybe the rubber is getting too old (12 years) ?

I think I will try to apply Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care to the window rubber and see how it goes.

Isn't that going to smear all over the window each time you lower and raise it?

Used GTechniq T1 on my window trims, no smearing, but then again I haven't applied it to the inner edge which touches the window. If you are going to do that, try a small area first to check for smearing, just in case...

Clean glass throughly and put your hand in your pocket and get new wiper blades....
