Squeaky Windows anyone?

Pretty sure this occurred after my tint job. I hardly roll down the rear passenger window down. Noticed a squeaky noise only when it goes up and 3 inches from a complete close. I applied some high end automotive lube to the entire rubber track and it stopped the squeak.
Hopefully it's nothing major but some dried up rubber lining. So.... any squeaky windows out there? And what's your fix?

havent noticed a squeak...but had the issue where when the window is down for a long period and then I use the "Auto up" feature - the window stops when it gets a few inches from the top and reverses itself. Easily fixable by just holding the window switch in the up position for a few seconds.

Its stopped happening so hopefully not an issue anymore.

Weird, mine does the EXACT same thing. It's definitely a glitch. It randomly will stop when I auto-up sometimes (at any random point in the window-position), and reverse itself down (seems opposite of what it did with you though)?
