Help: Passenger Window Creaking When Closing

This has become one of those really annoying things that just makes a car sound cheap and crappy. Sometimes (not all the time), when I roll my passenger window down, I get an annoying creaking sound and when I roll it up, I get it louder. The sound is most noticeable at the top when the window is going into the seal.

I bought some dielectric grease today and spent an hour greasing the heck out of every weather seal on the car, hoping the passenger side window was just a seal making noise. No dice.

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

PS - Not sure if relevant, but this door was changed a 3.5 years ago when it got dinged. The stealership could never get it on properly and when you try to open it, it kind of sticks on the stryker. It doesn't just pop open, like all the other door do.

Sounds like (when the sound is constant), your down to that point of having to remove that inside door trim, for an in-motion contact/rubbing zone. That might allow you to zero in on the exact source causing that creaking. Sounds like that could become very annoying over time. Not unlike a brake squeal that go's on an on because you can't figure out which of the 4 brake locations is causing it..

Yeah, what's even more strange is that sometimes it's quiet. I've already had the door panel off to fix a rattle in there. Every time I have the radio off now, I hear a new rattle. But I'm very anal about my car not sounding like a crap box.

The g8 is a rattle queen/king. I fix one and another appears. I still luv the car.

Hey William, thanks for the reply and concern, but it's not something I would take into the dealer for since I am out of warranty. I'll keep digging though, cheers!
