Forgive me but i know there is a thread on this.. but I seem to have trouble finding it. Now that it is getting "colder" ( aarg! ) my windows seems to need some treatment on them or the rubber to keep them from squeaking when they go up or while driving my passenger window will squeak a little with bumps. Any ides what to put on the rubber or the windows to keep the noise down???

 

The only thing I can think of is Armoral. At one time there was debate about it being bad for rubber. I couldn't see it.

 

Yeah.. i have heard the same thing..but I think that was more over time and frequency of applications. Just needs to get thru this cold noise time till spring.

Thanks Martin for you reply!

 

Same here, just happened in the fall. I may try some of that weatherstripping conditioner. Its getting worse on mine as the temp falls.

 

Turbo68,
You can probably find the last thread on this subject by spelling "squeeky" correctly.

 

With my last car (95 Corvette), the owner's manual explicitly recommended routine application of dielectric silicone grease on ALL weatherstripping. It not only helps to preserve it but provides some slipperiness to those portions of weatherstripping where the window rubs against--it seemed to work for me.

Are you talking about the weather seals that go around the glass on the top and sides, or the welting on the door where the glass drops into the door? Weather seals, a light wipe down with silicone. The welting, wax the glass inside and out with a polymer wax such as Nu-Finish. You do not want to put any fluids on the welting as it will streak the windows.

 

I had not heard of using a polymer wax on window glass before. Does this act similar to Rain-X type of products to repel water also? Does it affect visibility in any way? How long does it last and if there are problems, is it able to be removed and how?

Anyone else use polymer wax on glass? Curious to know your experience.

 

Hi, do you mean this?

I didn´t find anything else what could be suitable...but this one doesn´t contain wax - according to the manufacturer. (If it works, who cares, of course.)

 

Yes that's the one. I guess I should have said polish instead of wax. Wax has become a generic term like Kleenex these days. Nu-Finish is easy to use and totally optically clear. I have used it on my windscreen also, but the wipers seem to wipe it away eventually just as they do on Rain-x. Windex will actually remove it because it has ammonia in it.
