Default Help - Rubbing Noise From Front Windows

I have a strange rubbing noise when rolling up my front windows. Tried spraying some grease in the pillar lining but that was just a temporary fix. Has anyone experienced this? If so, what's the fix? Thank you & Mahalo.

Yeah, I get this too on the driver's side window. You probably just have to locate where the friction is happening and get some lubrication on the gasket. I would avoid WD-40 and use a lubricant meant for rubber.

i'm using lithium grease from a spray can at the moment. its working but comes right back when it dries. i just sprayed more today so hopefully it lasts. might be something i have to do once or twice a week. lame.
