Rear windshield squeak

Has anyone experienced the passenger side rear windshield squeak when driving? This only occurs in dry cold temperatures (40 degrees and below). It is completely gone in the summer time and when it rains. I tried to duplicate the noise from the door and rear dash with no luck. It has to be coming from the rear glass. Any input would be greatly appreciated. It's on a 03 E500 built in October 02.

TSB P-B-67.00/09 MAR03 addresses corrosion of the MIG weld at the sealing flange under the polyurethane sealant for the rear window. This seems to coincide with your occurrences (only cold temperatures). Depending on how annoying the squeak is and how important it is for you to get rid of it; they will need to remove the window to clean the corrosion and paint the area. If you want a copy, pm your email address.
