Passenger front window noise

After heavy rains recently the passenger side front window is making squeaking noise when I roll it down (only some times).
I am guessing some lubricant is washed away and the glass is rubbing against the weather stripping?
Anyone else have seen this?
If yes how did you fix it?

Thanks

I use Nextzett 91480615 'Gummi Pflege Stift' Rubber care stick - 3.4 fl.oz from Amazon. I must of use it one time back in 2021 and never had any issue after that with window squealing.

Thanks, I bought this.
How do I apply? Roll down the window and apply on all rubber gasket around window?
What about trim inside the door frame?

Roll down the window and roll it on. You can use blue tape before applying the Nextzett if your concern on protecting your paint.

I just rolled it on and then later I just cleaned it off the body paint.

I use it everywhere that is exposed like the rear hatch door and moonroof/sunroof, etc.

You said roll down the window and roll it on….
Where?
Between the two black strips where window goes down?
What about window frame sides?
I did roll on above places and I think it made a difference, I had to clean up window itself from residue.

Yes

You can. I did not do it on mine just the bottom strip

That's why I said you can use blue tape to protect the paint for less clean up

Perfect, I was trying to figure out exactly where to apply.

Brilliant suggestion! I have applied it to both front windows and the squeaking noise has gone.
