Default Windows squeak

Whenever my car is out in the hot weather all day, and I get in and roll down the windows, they make this horrible sqeaking noise. but when they cool down and im driving with the air on, then later i roll them down, they are fine. only seems to happen right after i get out of class in the hot sun... anyone know of a way to fix this?

Default They all do that mate, its the seals expanding in the heat if they didn't squeak they'd prolly leak

Default this will take care of it:

do this after car is parked for the night so it soaks in - but it fixes the squeeks!

1) lower the windows
2) apply the Vinylex onto a cloth/rag
3) rub onto felt part of the window rubber thingy
4) wait a couple of minutes
5) raise the windows

the next morning you will have quiet windows for a couple of months until you have to re-apply.
