Window squeak

Particularly when wet (90% of the time here) my windows squeak against the rubber.
I've heard about products that people have put onto the rubber. Any recommendations?

Also experiencing same problem, but oddly the vibrating sound isn't always there, just occasionally...

My E350 is only a few months new and already has two perfectly vertical scratches on both driver and passenger side windows, suspect it has some correlation with the contact with the rubber....

Most any silicone automotive spray will do. Just use the straw insert and spray.

Well the dealer lubricated and cleaned the windows according to the statement of work. I see no evidence of any window cleaning - in fact the seem to have marks all over them... but the squeak is gone for now.
If it comes back, I will try the silicone lubricant advice.
My chattering wipers (from another thread) have been fixed by replacing with new wipers. I had thought that they would have done this as part of the CPO certification process but apparently not since they cost $70 and sales doesn't want to eat that unless necessary... Anyway, they were replaced at no cost given that I bought the car about a month ago!
