Default Yes

Clean them real well, inside and out. Worked for me.

Default If the thorough cleaning doesn't work, then maybe you could try that, but it worked for me.

I used "Stoners" Glass cleaner

Yeah, what Hibiscus Red S4 said. I had the same problem so I cleaned my windows real good and no-mo.

Default this will take care of it....

apply this to the felt-type material on the rubber seal that makes contact with your windows. allow it to soak overnight - problem gone.

you have to reapply in 4 or 5 months, but this takes care of it....

Default Rain-X on the side windows works too. Plus it helps keep the windows clean . . .

. . . and you get the cool effect of the water wizz'n sideways at speed. DOOD!

In all seriousness, it does work but will have to be reapplied regularly. Vinelyx may be better . . . dunnno, haven't used it. Probably have to reapply just as often.

Default 303 Aerospace Protectant worked great for me...

I also used it on all my door seals and a lot of the annoying creaks and moans went away inside the cabin.
