WD-40 is good I like to use white lithium grease in an aerosol can, spray on the hinges and work the door back and forth. I just did this on my fiancees mustang and it brought the sound level down a lot, still squeaks a little tho. You can find it at homedepot usually in the garden tools section, maybe by pesticides, you can also use it on garage doors.

The chances are pretty good that the squeeking you hear is the door snubbers and not the hinges. These things squeek when hot and all you can do is replace them according to the bulletin on them.

I tried to start a thread about it, but got no replies.
If you find the solution, let me know. I do notice mine are not as bad when it is raining...????

I have major squeaking on both front windows, worse coming down than going up. Dealer is stumped. Part of that is my fault as I will not pay to have the door taken apart. What is annoying to me is they have no idea what it is. They tried to lubricate the window tracks but that didn't help. I can't imagine they have never heard this before...but that was their story.

It sounds to me as if there was a rubber wheel that has frozen and is just dragging on the glass. There are no drag marks or skid marks on the windows. From the diagrams of the door, it doesn't seem like there is such a rubber wheel in there...
I should just take the door apart and see what I can find, but I am afraid to do it myself (lack of knowledge, fear of breakage) and too cheap to pay the dealer to do it. I'd have no problem paying them to fix it, but since they have no clue, I don't want to pay for "exploratory surgery" with no finite repair cost.

Rain? OK, that is an exaggeration, but I don't really do anything special for the windows, wash the car, dry the car, repeat...
